The City of Madison will hold a public meeting on the City’s application for Google Fiber on Thursday, March 11 at 7:00p.m. at Olbrich Gardens.
“Madison is a perfect fit for Google Fiber. We have a tech savvy, engaged population and we’re already home to a local Google office,” Mayor Dave Cieslewicz said. “We need the community’s help to make our application as competitive as possible.”
In mid-February, Google announced plans to bring ultra-high speed fiber networks to residential homes in trial locations around the country. More information on Google Fiber is available here. The City will submit an application to Google by March 26 and needs the community’s help to make our application stand out in this highly competitive process.
