Let’s Bring Google High Speed Fiber to Blacksburg
We Need Your Help
Blacksburg and Virginia Tech have teamed up to submit a joint application for Google’s recent push to build ultra-high speed fiber networks in a number of locations across the country. If selected, Blacksburg would be the recipient of Internet speeds 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today.
Thousands of communities will be vying for Google’s attention, so we need your help to make Blacksburg stand out among the rest.
Go to http://www.google.com/appserve/fiberrfi/public/options today and Nominate Your Community. The application only takes a few minutes. The first step to get started is creating your own gmail account. It’s free, quick, easy, and necessary to tell Google why they should choose Blacksburg.
The following sample templates will help you fill out the application. These are just samples, please nominate Blacksburg using the online form.
You Tube Video and Naming Contests
The Town’s application to Google needs to be creative and reflect why Blacksburg should be chosen among every other community in the country. In our government response we will include a compelling You Tube video. Whose video shall it be? Check out the submission criteria and send us your best stuff.
We also need a fun, attention grabbing title for the application. Check out the submission criteria for the naming contest as well.
Entries must be received by 8:00 am on March 15. The winning recipients will receive a $100 Downtown Blacksburg gift certificate.
