Assemblyman Joe Lentol Assisting with Google Fiber Optic Trial Application
Assemblyman Joe Lentol is reportedly “assisting with the application process” to tell Google we want their internets, but needs to hear some words of encouragement from you all so he knows people actually care. So listen up. If you have, or have once had, slow internet service around the ‘Burg, do us all a favor and call (718-383-7474), email his office, or post on his FB wall and express your support for asking Google to “hook us up.”
Also, there is a Facebook group for this cause now as well: “Greenpoint / Williamsburg for Google Fiber Optic.” I love you guys. Please go fan their page.
Update: A comment from Amy from Joe Lentol’s office:
Hi, this is Amy from Assemblyman Lentol’s office. Thanks so much for helping to get the word out on this. It is a really exciting project that could mean a lot to everyone in this community from all walks of life. We have had a huge outpouring of support from local businesses, artists, families, students, and everyone in between. To clarify, what we really need help on is words of encouragement from you to show Google that a project like this has the support of the community and would be appreciated and utilized by the community. I encourage everyone to join the Facebook group and to let Google know what this project would mean to Greenpoint and Williamsburg and to you personally. Our application doesn’t stand a chance without a major showing of community support! Thanks to everyone for your help!
