Foundation for TRIMRS |

The founding members of TRIMRS believe that the opportunity exists to create a model for successful collaboration in rural areas of Nebraska and throughout the United States. This model addresses the challenges unique to rural communities; challenges that are different, but just as difficult as those faced in urban areas. We will use the strength of this collaboration to gain a voice in the planning and resource allocation process, thereby creating better opportunities and more flexibility in developing solutions to meet our region's need.
