The first discussions about starting an IMC in rural Pennsylvania began around May 2007. For several weeks anywhere from 5-12 people, mostly local community activists and civilian journalists met bi-weekly in revolving locations throughout the city of Lancaster. Over the span of many months we have made some major connections throughout Lancaster Proper and the region, and have a strong connection with other IMCs such as the Philadelphia IMC.

This will be happening parallel to, and perhaps ahead of, the website install. A group of local radioheads are forming and will begin discussing format and programming at the next meeting.
