Welcome to the latest episode of View from the Top! Today's conversation features Matt Dunne, the founder and executive director of the Center on Rural Innovation (CORI). Matt is a visionary leader who aims to bridge the opportunity gap in rural America by fostering inclusive, tech-enabled economies in small towns nationwide through CORI.
In this episode, we dive deep into Matt's journey, from his personal experiences growing up in a supportive rural community in Hartland, Vermont, to his pivotal role in empowering similar communities to thrive economically. We explore his efforts to counter the increasing divide between rural and urban areas since the Great Recession. Matt emphasizes the need to create a future-proof economy that transcends geographical boundaries.
Matt's compelling narrative takes us through his time at Google, his insights into the tech economy, and his work with CORI to establish a network of 38 communities in 24 states. The mission is to build robust economies for rural America. His ultimate goal is to expand this network to 90 communities by 2026, representing a critical mass of the rural population.
This conversation is not just about economic development; it's a testament to the power of local leadership, community collaboration, and the unyielding spirit of rural America.
