“We have an opportunity to do things that few communities in this country get to do.” “This is, as they say, 'big news’… (it) means Provo will be one of the first cities in the world to have universal Internal connectivity in nearly every home.”
“When every one of the kids in public school has Internet, what are the possibilities? What does it mean for a city to be able to communicate with every resident electronically? What does it mean for economic development?” - Mayor John Curtis
We live in a world of increasing speed and constant change. A world where borders seemingly become less relevant and communities grow or dissipate depending on how they adapt and even embrace this momentum of change. Those who succeed develop and implement a unified purpose and strategic direction with their communities in order to not be blown about by every wind of fortune. As citizens of Provo, we aim to be such a community.
In March 2010, Provo City brought together its community leaders to develop the Provo City Vision 2030. In April 2013, Provo mayor John Curtis announced that Google would be bringing their network infrastructure, Google Fiber, to Provo. The technology offered by Google and now by other organizations and their availability to the community gives us the opportunity to accelerate our progress towards the 2030 Vision and take it to the next level.
