New wireless internet for businesses project
|
|
|
 Greater Frogtown is proud to announce a new business development opportunity, thanks to donations from the University of Minnesota's Office for Business and Community Economic Development. The U has given wireless internet access equipment, which will allow us to provide new services and - in partnership with the Neighborhood Development Center - new training opportunities for local businesses to use the internet to promote our area. The first target for the project is the Frogtown Entrepreneur Center buildings on University and Dale. We will be in testing for the next month, but we hope to be active for businesses in the area by the end of October. Contact Steve Boland to learn more.
