Albion College, Albion Chamber of Commerce, Albion Public Library and the Albion Volunteer Service Center have or will establish and support public access sites for the Internet. Some of these sites have emphasis on special needs or groups, such as the business community and college students. In addition, The Forks is very interested in placing public access sites within some of the housing projects in the community. The Forks Initiative is funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the W.K. Kellogg foundation. It is in the third year of a 5-year grant from the Kellogg foundation.
Collaboration includes major public and private organizations within the community.
The Forks is funded for five full time professionals, and draws extensive assistance from the project collaborators, especially Albion College, the Public Library, the Albion Volunteer Service Organization and Trillium hospital. Much of The Forks volunteering comes from professionals, rather than average community members. This web site is still under content development. There are links to all the major collaborators. The web site is focused on traditional community information.
