Town looks at creating wi-fi ‘hot spot’ at Broad Brook Grange

BY JOHN SNYDER | THE COMMONS

GUILFORD—The Selectboard said it is on the fence about whether to invest in a public Internet wireless “hotspot” at Broad Brook Grange, and are curious to know whether the Grange would be interested in hosting such a device.

According to Town Administrator Katie Buckley, speaking at the Oct. 28 Selectboard meeting, the Grange would be a logical place to offer such a community service.

“I think if it were a service people knew was available to them, you might see them use it. It would be available at the Grange, during public meetings, on election days, anytime the town uses the building, or there’s something happening at the Grange,” she said.

For that matter, it would be on 24 hours a day, seven days a week, she suggested, and would be available to passersby.
