The Race For Google's Ultra-High Speed Fiber Network

Anderson, Indiana 03/06/2010 – Ever since Google announced their program to build an ultra-high speed fiber network somewhere in the U.S., cities have been pulling out all stops to gain Google’s favor to be the place that becomes the home of this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Among the cities that are courting Google for this opportunity is Anderson, Indiana (Google Map). Not only is Anderson in the race, they have as good chance as any to be selected according to Mr. Darren Grile whom we spoke with today and it’s very easy to see why.

Anderson, even with all the setbacks they’ve endured, has continued to build a rich and vibrant downtown and city.  Not only have they overcome the traumatic loss of General Motors, they have weathered the recent recession better then most towns their size.

To say that Anderson has remained energetic and enthusiastic throughout all this is almost an understatement.

Anderson is not only the Home of Anderson University and an Ivy Tech Community College, but it also is home to the Flagship Enterprise Center and business incubator which is one of the top facilities of its kind anywhere. Anderson, Indiana also became the place where Nestle’, in 2006, announced it would locate a facility to produce NESTLÉ NESQUIK Ready-to-Drink (RTD) and NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE because of what Anderson had to offer. And there is so much more including the greening-up of areas where GM buildings once stood.

Does Anderson have a chance to land Google? Yes, they have a very good chance.
