Riley to Testify at Public Hearing Urging Utility Companies to Help Bridge Digital Divide in Cumberland County
(GREENWICH TWP) - Assemblywoman Celeste M. Riley will testify on Tuesday at a public hearing in Greenwich Township with utility company officials in an effort to help bridge the digital divide that is still pervasive in western Cumberland County.
The hearing was called by Senator Jeff Van Drew and will take place on Tuesday, Feb. 14, at 7:30 p.m. at the Morris Goodwin School, 839 Ye Greate Street, Greenwich, where Riley is a technology teacher.
"Despite being at the confluence of several of the country's biggest media markets, certain parts of our state have all but been forgotten when it comes to 21st century technology," said Riley (D-Cumberland/Gloucester/Salem). "The limitations we face, when it comes to a lack of high speed Internet service and cell phone access hinders education, impedes the work of first responders and stymies economic growth."
