The city has this amazing fiber optic ring. We have a business downtown that hosts servers to work off these lines that provide for businesses here, and serves as the backup site for many companies that are vulnerable to weather changes, such as hurricanes and tornadoes. The Veterans Administration has located one of its major centers for online accounting and prescription processing here. We have the capacity of providing so much more. With the attractive coolness of Downtown Dublin, it is time to market the technology opportunities we could provide to young and upcoming companies looking for a place that is cool and can be a bigger part of a larger renaissance. These type of companies may not have the number of jobs we are used to going after, but that is ok. Companies like this could provide 20 to 25 jobs and attracting several of them would work just fine. They have the history of paying well and investing even more in their people. They generally attract younger workers Editorial Roundup and that is something we certainly need. July 9 debt held by the public."
