Mayor Domenic J. Sarno, Chief Development Officer Kevin Kennedy, and Chief Information Officer Andy Doty announced upgrades to downtown technology infrastructure to further Springfield’s position in the region as an innovation leader.
The initiatives will include providing free public WiFi access beginning in the downtown Springfield area this spring, and expanding to various areas elsewhere in the City including public parks. Working with city partners the initiative will also bring high speed fiber into buildings which will encourage and provide the growing entrepreneur sector with quicker, cost effective, and easier to access technology.
