Clarkson University is requesting St. Lawrence County support their proposal to the Broadband Technology Opportunity Program (BTOP) to create business computing centers and other broadband adoption programs/services for businesses and residents in the Adirondack Park. One of the computing centers is slated to be located in Star Lake.
The IT Committee discussed this project when we met on 7/30/09, and felt it supports SLC’s IT Strategic Plan and is precisely the type of project that should be supported and encouraged.
CU asks we sign the attached letter of support to be included in their application. They are also seeking financial support to meet the program’s matching requirements. Application deadline 8/14/09. I ask legislators to consider the attached letter for signing by the Chair and Adirondack Legislators. I will bring this up under New Business when we meet Monday night and plan to share additional information at that time.
