My Community Technology Center Vision
I don’t know how many of you know this, I’m starting a committee that is looking/planning to develop a Community Technology Center in Audubon, IA.
This Technology Center will:
Provide technology to all of Audubon County. This includes all school districts, city and county organizations, businesses, etc. Provide technology to Audubon county to learn and grow. Help the county gain technology skill and experience to create a great computer savvy workforce. Provide businesses with resources that they need to grow their business. Business would be provided with access to software, computer, web conferencing, high speed internet, web presence(web site), etc. Provide reliable and rock solid computer for business and public internet access. Provide a great place to learn. This might also be used in job training, and business training. In time this might also create jobs in and around Audubon County.
The Technology Center will be and funded by:
The Technology Center will be a non-profit organization, which is owned and operated by people of Audubon County. All funding will be from in-kind donations and grants. If the city and county would like to donate to this center, that would also be accepted. I do not want this center/program to be run on only tax money.
Things we are in process of doing:
We are looking at what, you as the community, want from this technology center. The Steering Committee at this time is really looking for a great place to have the Community Technology Center. This Committee is also looking at grants and other funding options.
Anyone from the community is welcomed to these meetings.
