I too lived in a small town in Indiana, ~10,000. Had nearly everything needed to exist and the advantage of closer connections, which facilitate adoption, but lacked advanced healthcare services.

I admit much easier to start and start more simply/quickly at this level and advance organically. Not sure the last comment on original post about ending in disaster. The right seed group mandatory. “As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.”
