Update – February 5^th

^{Jefferson City - Round 2}

What a day! It started way too early and is seeming to end too late. 

At 4AM this morning we left for Jefferson City to attend the state of MO Round 2 Informational Meeting LINK.  It seemed well attended LINK - (the attendance roster is downloadable.) 

We were pleased to have Bill Giessing from Brockmiller Construction , one of our partners, join our team in this process.

Also on the states' newly revised (for round 2) www site, we find the partnership application that has to be submitted by the 10th of this month!  I can already hear certain people and their comments, I didn't chose the deadline... come on guys, I didn't chose the deadline.

The ride back was a bit slushy and snowy, but it was especially beautiful with snow covered trees.  I love driving through Crawford and Washington County.  We like to stop in Steelville at the Feed Store Restaurant and get some of the best catfish in Missouri.  It is a close tie with the Brick in St. Gen, I am still debating...

Because we are working on a VERY tight schedule and we know you are interested, we will now update via Twitter. 

Just click on the Twitter link on our front page and it will take you to the St. Louis Broadband www site, and you will find the latest news!

...or Governor Jay Nixon (but he doesn't seem to Tweet much...) LINK

...but Lt. Gov Peter Kinder kind of makes up for it LINK  ;-) 

    Senator Claire McCaskill LINK is a frequent Tweeter and a big supporter of the broadband stimulus project!

Secretary of State Robin Carnahan is another great Tweeter LINK
