Why Should Google Build a Fiber Network Where You Live?

Your Two Cents Google is looking for some communities to hot-wire with lightning-fast Internet connectivity and they're asking communities to submit proposals for this project. Future Forward! Green County and others believe that the Green County area offers an excellent opportunity for Google and that Google can bring great change to the Green County area. Submissions from community leaders are due into Google no later than March 26, 2010 and there is much to do between now and then if we wish to be considered here in Green County.

Your voice is needed now! Time is short and we need to develop a community response for our submission to Google. If you think this is a great opportunity for Green County and would like to weigh in, please post your comments here (no Spotlight membership required). To learn more about the Google Fiber project, please see our newly created list of resources on the subject.

Time is Short: The first public meeting on this subject was held on Wednesday, February 25, 2010 at Monroe City Hall where it was determined to go ahead with a Government response. Now we need you to join in the buzz! Visit the links above for more info. Several Future Forward! Green County members are already playing active role along with various government entities and organizations such as Green County Development Corporation but we need to drum up even more involvement. Pass this alone to anyone you think may be interested. Time is short. It's a community collaboration so the more the merrier.

Submitted by Brett Davis
State Rep. Brett Davis

This week, Governor Doyle announced that he has been notified by the US Department of Education that Wisconsin did not make the cut for the first round of the new “Race to the Top” program.  Although this was news to some, I was not surprised by the announcement, due to the lack of action by Governor Doyle and the Democratic majority in the Legislature.
