Recommendations
The
Telecommunications task force recommends that:
- A program be
established to attract telecommunications-based
businesses to the Estes Park area, both individuals
("Lone Eagles") and companies.
- This program,
including advertising, acquisition of mailing lists,
sponsorship of conferences, formation of associations,
and other related functions be financed by a specified
allocation of community development funds.
- The program,
and the budgeting and appropriation of the funds be
scheduled to begin January 1, 1995, to allow time for the
completion of the telecommunications infrastructure and
for the needs of current residents to be met to the
extent possible.
- The Town
staff actively pursue the acquisition of grants from
those organizations making such awards, as listed in the
Resource section of this report, to assist in financing
economic diversification plans.
- The Town
Board of Trustees consider including a long-term plan for
economic diversification based on information technology
in the master plan currently under development.
- The
Telecommunications task force be declared officially
disbanded as of March 31, 1994.
