Quotes from Letters of Support
“SWAMC is aware that several entities in Alaska plan to seek funds through the NTIA and RUS broadband grant and loan programs. However, given the size, scope, job creation, and projected service area to be covered by the KKCC proposal it makes sense that we would not only endorse your project but strongly urge that its funding be given the highest priority possible.”
- Michael Catsi, Executive Director, Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference, July 1, 2009
“…We are studying the installation of wind-based renewable energy generation. If enough energy can be harnessed from around Nome to support outlying communities via an electric grid, we will need the basic services the proposed NFOL system can provide to install a Smart Grid monitoring and distribution system.”
- Denise Michels, Mayor, City of Nome, July 20, 2009
“Having access to broadband is a tool our communities need to prosper economically as well as personally. Broadband will open up our area to new industries and job growth, as well as opening our students’ minds to possibilities and the world.”
- Lamar J. Cotton, Lake and Peninsula Borough Manager, July 22, 2009
