The NTCA – Rural Broadband Association created the “Rural Is Cool” movement as a way for rural Americans to use their voices to shape the future of their communities and local industries. The purpose of the movement is to spread the word about why rural areas are a great place to work, learn, live and play.

What makes rural cool? There are many reasons, including a hardworking labor pool, shorter commutes, lower cost of living, more room to spread out, beautiful and quiet outdoor spaces, friendly neighbors, and farm-to-table food.

How can you get involved? Share what’s cool about rural communities on your social media channels via video, photos and blogs. Use the hashtag #ruraliscool.

The more voices added to the “Rural Is Cool” movement, the more the movement can grow. To learn more, “like” Alpine Communications on Facebook at www.facebook.com/alpinecommunications or “follow” us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/alpinecomnet
