Dear Commissioners,
We would like to reiterate our support of the Bozeman Fiber Master Plan as it relates
to Bozeman attracting as well as retaining companies that require reliable high speed
internet access. We have engaged no less than a dozen high tech companies, either
currently in the Gallatin Valley or considering opening an office in Bozeman and this
topic is in the top 3 items that needs to be addressed with each prospective tenant.
Although high speed internet has been primarily been associated with high tech
companies in the past, it is quickly becoming a service no different than standard
utilities like electricity and natural gas that virtually every company will benefit. In the
spirit of keeping Bozeman competitive to attract companies that add incremental
value, Montana Avenue Partners and Cannery District Partners whole heartily support
the Bozeman Fiber Initiative.
Sincerely,
Scott Dehlendorf and Barry Brown
Principals, Cannery District Partners
