A big three-day conference begins Wednesday in Emporia.
The Rural Rise Summit is focused on economic development in rural areas. Presentations begin Wednesday afternoon and continue through lunchtime Friday, with information on telecommunications programs, the “future of rural ecosystem building,” advocacy efforts, Main Street communities including Emporia, conversations on diversity and equity and information about so-called micropolitan area economies. Several question-and-answer sessions are included along with facilitated discussions.
