Other thoughts
· Who is going to make the plan happen?
· Village and town endorsement
· Highlight towns, schools that are doing well with technology
· Market and advertise the plan – radio, print and tv
· County Facebook page?
· Hold “mixers” around the county to get IT & business people talking to each other
· Attend other meetings that are already scheduled
· Section of county webpage set aside on for the committee

LJP Notes:
Training for business to consider capital investments in technology
Provide capital (low interest or no interest financing) for investments in technology
IT Services to local municipalities – desktop, LAN, WAN support, other ‘shared’ requirements like microfilming & scanning
County serve as a clearing house for IT resources – human resources, training services, hardware & software, infrastructure, etc.

Goal:
Locate a mechanism to gather a more comprehensive picture of service availability in SLC
Identify Quality Control mechanism for results received
