A community meeting on Broadband access issues is being held on Thursday, November 6 from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at the Cook County Courthouse. Numerous Cook County residents are awaiting the completion of the fiber optic broadband system being developed by Arrowhead Electric Coop.
However, even with the advent of connectivity to a residence there are some people who need access to facilities such as an office space, a conference room or a video conferencing site for example. If you are: • a resident who needs a place to work with good internet connectivity either on occasion or full time, • an entrepreneur who wants an interactive work site or if you are • a seasonal person who would like to work remotely so you can spend more time in Cook County away from the office, we would like to hear from you. • Or anyone else!
The Cook County Broadband Commission needs your input and participation. The directive to the commission from the county commissioners is to maximize the positive impact that the new optical fiber network has on the Cook County community. To that end the commission is exploring the possibility of such ideas as establishing co-working spaces, new business development and broadband access sites for the community.
We want to be certain that there is sufficient interest before we proceed in a particular direction.
Join us for a meeting at the Cook County Courthouse on November 6 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
At the meeting, we will gather information on your needs and desires regarding office space, broadband access sites, and co-working facilities.
