ITC Hosts Senator Schumer, Discusses Broadband Strategy to Attract New Businesses

Canandaigua, NY, April 5, 2010

On Monday, April 5th U.S. Senator Charles Schumer visited ITC to highlight the success of the Ontario County open-access fiber ring – Axcess Ontario – as a national model for municipal infrastructure investments as an economic development tool. 

Schumer, D-N.Y., told a crowd of politicians and VIPs during a visit to ITC that Ontario County’s 180-mile ring project due to be finished this year is one-of-a-kind — and the type of project the nation needs.

Not only that, but it is bringing new business to town, as evidenced by two executives who shared their stories during Schumer’s visit.
