The subcommittee identified Sheffield, Sugar Grove, Warren, Youngsville, and Tidioute as the first locations. The plan is to purchase Starlink equipment and service for three years.“From an overview standpoint, we would like to take and put five Starlink hotspots in our communities, in more event prone areas, so areas that they have bigger events, so that vendors can have access,” Phillips said. “Also areas where maybe you gather from a community standpoint. So it’s a nice day out. You live in Sheffield, maybe you go down to the park and you’re able to be on your laptop and do some work outside. That’s kind of our first initiative, definitely something that we think that we could potentially get in place in April.”For the equipment and 18 months of service (six months during the spring/summer/fall each year for three years), the anticipated total cost for the five hotspots is $25,000. Phillips said Warren Worx is reaching out to local businesses to sponsor the cost.Upcoming Warren Worx meetings, all open to the public, include: Executive Committee at 8 a.m. on Oct. 22 at the Warren City Municipal Building, Business Development Subcommittee at 8 a.m. on Oct. 29 at the WCCBI Office, and Public Stakeholder at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 13 at the Sheffield VFD.</div></body>
