Tilting at broadband in Greene County

Rob LeDonne in The Daily Mail reports that Rosemary O’Brien of Oak Hill and Kathleen Whitley-Harm of Freehold have launched a campaign to bring broadband internet access to Greene County. So far they have met with Mid-Hudson Cablevision President James Reynolds, Greenville Town Supervisor Paul Macko, and Mark Wescott, a representative from Congressman Chris Gibson’s office. In Greenville, Mid-Hudson Cable's contract is up for renewal, and the company recently turned down a giant federal grant to bring broadband to the area. “I would urge anyone to write your local town supervisor, federal officials, and tell them this is important to you,” says Whitley-Harm in LeDonne's story. “I care about this for the future of the county. Let’s all come together and make a plan. Let’s step into this century.” Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
