    fifteenfortyseven Critical Systems Realty and Green House Data Partner to Develop New Datacenter Facility in Cheyenne, WY Cheyenne, WY and Matawan, NJ - June 5, 2013 – fifteenfortyseven Critical Systems Realty, LLC (1547) and Green House Data announce today their partnership to develop a new state-of-the-art datacenter facility in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The 35,000 sq. ft., five (5) Megawatt, concurrently-maintainable facility is designed to house wholesale, retail and cloud colocation services for high-power density customers. This new facility will join Green House Data’s existing 10,000 sq. ft. facility to form the nucleus of a planned, multi-building datacenter campus. The first phase of this project will kick off immediately and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2014. The facility will boast 100 gigabit per second (Gbps) network capacity with redundancy across four network carriers and low latency to the major datacenter hubs in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas. This initial build will make available an additional 5,000 sq. ft. of configurable and ready-to-lease space. “This new datacenter is ideal for organizations from either coast who need to incorporate safe locations into their disaster recovery and business continuity planning," states Shawn Mills, President, Green House Data. “With this expansion, we will be able to offer the business community across the central regions a secure, efficient, state-of-the-art datacenter that combines a unique climate with strategic access to the key data center hubs in the US.” Formed in 2007, Green House Data has been providing high performance, secure, and reliable cloud hosting and colocation services in the Cheyenne market to customers around the world.

  • 2019-2020 Annual Report/Honor Roll
    Manhattan Beach Education Foundation Annual Report & Honor Roll 2019-2020 Dear Friends of MBEF – You make it possible. Year after year, you — the parents, business leaders, educators, and neighbors of our community — recognize that great schools begin with strong foundations. Together we have committed to opportunities that invite our students to dream, to think, and to engage in what is possible. Because of your commitment, this year the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation (MBEF) will make its largest grant to the Manhattan Beach Unified School District in its history — an investment of $7.5 million to strengthen our schools. We invite you to learn more about the specific programs MBEF will fund for the coming 2020-21 school year in this Annual Report & Honor Roll — the programs you helped make possible. Despite district budget cuts this year, support of MBEF continues to strengthen the academic journey of all students, from learning in smaller class sizes The Power to supporting learning from home. The road ahead remains full of challenges for our schools. The uncertainty around continued distance learning and the significant structural deficit in state funding are among the largest. But our community has proven that we are up to the challenge. We are steadfast in our efforts to grow local support of our schools — through MBEF’s Annual Appeal, of Possible the Endowment, and other critical initiatives — for the students of today and tomorrow. Thank you for standing with MBEF and our commitment to providing excellent educational opportunities for our children here in Manhattan Beach. We look forward to shaping what is possible together.

  • SSBCI-Quarterly-Report-Summary-4Q-2013.Pdf
    1 Summary On September 27, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-240) (the Act), which created programs to encourage small business lending, including the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI). SSBCI provides $1.5 billion to support new and existing state programs that provide lending to, and invest in, small businesses and small manufacturers. SSBCI is expected to help spur up to $15 billion in additional private sector lending and investing to small businesses and small manufacturers. States do this by using federal funds for programs that leverage private lending and investing to help finance small businesses that are creditworthy, but do not have sufficient access to capital necessary to expand and create jobs. To be eligible for funds, each State had to demonstrate a reasonable expectation that it would be able to leverage each federal $1 to generate $10 in new small business lending or investing. In 2011 and 2012, Treasury approved applications on a rolling basis and signed Allocation Agreements with 47 states, the District of Columbia, five territories and four consortia of municipalities in three states (for simplicity each participating entity will be referred to as a “State”). North Dakota and Wyoming did not apply for SSBCI funding, and Alaska withdrew its application. States could divide their allocation among several types of small business support programs: Loan Participation Programs (LPPs): Venture Capital Programs (VCPs), Loan Guarantee Programs (LGPs), Collateral Support Programs (CSPs) and Capital Access Programs (CAPs). States receive SSBCI funding in three equal disbursements which are paid out based on cumulative funds expended, obligated or transferred.1 • Disbursements exceeded $1 billion: As of December 31, 2013, $1,004,122,392 out of $1,457,567,480 or 69 percent of total allocations were disbursed.
