 Many documents and
interactive materials can be more easily reviewed or obtained
on-line, such as:
|
|
New videoconferencing capabilities will allow residents at outreach centers at local libraries or community-based organizations (or eventually at home) to hold real-time meetings with government representatives located miles away. |
|
Residents will have access to faster and more reliable data and Internet services. |
|
Local companies can get faster Internet access and higher bandwidth for less than what they now pay for copper wire service. |
|
Schools and libraries can help not only school-age kids, but also adults who increasingly need to make learning new skills a life-long experience. |
|
Hospitals and the medical community can offer more effective consultation and new telemedicine services. |
|
Fire and police departments will all be able to upgrade their voice, video and data capabilities, therefore improving on and expanding the services they can offer to the community. |
|
The overall local government tax burden can be reduced by the increased sharing of back office services between the County and municipalities - for example, the Geographic Information System. |
