Congratulations to Tim Will, 61, of Rutherfordton, N.C.,
a telecommunications executive who brought broadband to Rutherford County and created an online ordering system that enables local farmers to sell their produce directly to Charlotte restaurants.

He just won $100,000 from the The Purpose Prize, which is now in its fourth year and provides five $100,000 and five $50,000 awards to social innovators over 60 in encore careers. It is the nation’s only large-scale investment in social innovators in the second half of life.

Here’s a three-minute video of Tim talking about his project.
