Almost everyone has heard that Google Fiber is coming to both sides of Kansas City. This has been very exciting news! I will be attending the Give Us A Gig event this week to learn more about how Google Fiber can make a difference in our communities and how this will benefit businesses and residents.
I am very excited about all the buzz! The potential benefits to schools and healthcare are going to be great but it doesn't end there...
Google Fiber has already added a new focus to Kansas City. Google is huge. Kansas City has already had an increase attention from around the world already! This could create more opportunity for big and small businesses. More business can create many more jobs. More jobs creates more money, more money lessens poverty, creates more spending and helps our communities grow. We are looking at positive ecomonmic development if we put utilize it!
Let’s face it; we've been in a slump. Most of us have all felt the hit from this down economy. Some families have gone from making a decent living to struggling to barely get by. Our neighborhoods have been in a slump. It's difficult to keep real estate values stable when many homes in the neighborhood are vacant, being foreclosed on, sitting until they begin deteriorating or otherwise become unsightly and eventually selling for way under value.
We would all like to see the value of our neighborhoods go up. We need more opportunity, less foreclosures, fewer depressed neighborhoods (and neighbors), and more employment!
I believe that bringing Google Fiber to our city will help provide an opportunity for growth in our communities. It will be up to the citizens to take advantage of the opportunity and expand it!
If you would like to talk more about how Google Fiber can benefit our community, contact me any time. I would love to share how we can all get involved in the Google Fiber opportunity and how this could help our economic development.
I'm excited about what this means for the real estate market and my business. I hope that everyone else is as enthusiatic as I am about it!
Sincerely,
Christine Anderson
