Bring Google Fiber Optic Bandwidth to Northern California!
Shasta.com and AccessNow supports the effort to bring Google Fiber Optic bandwidth to our city. If you would like to support this effort, we need your help. Please read the following then follow the link below and nominate your city for Google Fiber.
Google recently announced a new pilot program to bring extremely high speed Internet connections to a select group of local communities. This program will be “game changing” for the selected communities. Access to this type of bandwidth (1Gbps connections to the home/small business) would have a major impact on the local economy and would open up tremendous new opportunities. I sent the below email message today to some of our local government leaders to encourage their leadership in trying to attract this investment from Google but I wanted to send out this message to encourage the various groups that you’re all associated with (Chamber of Commerce, Shasta Technology Association, EDC, Shasta Builders Exchange, Etc.) to also express your support for this program both to other community leaders and to Google. You can submit a nomination for Chico to help show community support for the project at the following site:

About Chico
Located in the heart of the north State, Chico’s proud culture, location and economy have made it home to one of Northern California’s most unique cities. Though a self-determining small-town feel remains, Chico has become the premier location for business, culture and recreation in the north state. In addition, Chico is home to one of California’s most distinguished state universities – commonly known as Chico State.
Resting 90 miles north of Sacramento, Chico is home to over 80,000 residents. To the west and south of the city you’ll find mainly fields, plains and agricultural crops, and to the north and east, the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
Chico locals have taken pride in their surrounding wilderness, preserving a large portion of it for Bidwell Park. As the Park winds like a miniature Grand Canyon into the foothills, it becomes one of the largest city parks in the country. Though surrounding areas are spectacular, Chico inner city boasts a diverse population of trees; thus, earning its nickname, The City of Trees.
Known to be a college town, Chico’s rich culture has become a hotspot for many events: live performances frequent both indoor and outdoor stages; in the summer, Thursday night market transforms downtown into a carnival like atmosphere; the Chico Outlaws, a minor-league baseball team, entertains many of the hot summer nights; and the nightlife keeps the streets alive well into the morning.
With a strong sense of community and culture, Chico’s businesses – from restaurants to bicycle cabs – have come to support and thrive on the active people that are proud to call Chico their home.
