Support of Elected Officials is Crucial to the Success of SMART Community Initiatives

We live at a time when Internet connectivity and network

infrastructure is just as fundamental to our economic future as are

transportation systems, which requires us to have robust fiber networks to

connect people with opportunities, and move our economy

at the speed of our ideas.- County Executive Isiah Leggett
