Sibley County is a rural agricultural county in south central Minnesota. The population of Sibley County is one of the most disadvantaged in Minnesota. In the early 1990’s, Sibley County began attracting a growing Chicano/Latino population to work in the agricultural and food processing industries in the area. Many residents are “working poor,” having little resources, energy and time for technology, adult learning, and involvement in school and community activities. The project will make technology more accessible to residents of Sibley County. Six community technology sites will be established in easy to access buildings across the county to provide a wide range of services from translation and language services to computer software and Internet training.
