The City of Peoria learned today that Google has chosen Kansas City,
KS as its first pilot city for their Fiber To The Community project.
We in Peoria congratulate Mayor Joe Reardon and the citizens and
businesses of Kansas City in being selected for this great project. We
are also happy that Google selected a Midwest community.
Peoria put together a strong application that would not have been
possible without the enthusiasm, excitement and dedication of hundreds
of supporters. Mayor Ardis wishes to extend his deepest thanks to all
the individuals, organizations and companies who came together to work
on this tremendous project. We are confident that Peoria's application
made it hard for Google to choose.
We are also confident, however, that while not selected in this
initial round, the future of high-speed internet in Peoria is bright.
When Google co-founder Sergey Brin made the announcement this morning,
he said, "We are rolling out communities, starting with Kansas City."
Google also says it will be "looking closely at ways" in which it can
add more cities to its fiber project soon. We are confident that
Google will learn a lot during their Kansas City pilot and will
quickly widen their network to include Peoria. The enthusiasm Peoria
displayed could also attract another company that wants to deploy high-
speed internet.

Likewise, congrats to KS, KS from St. Louis MO!
Although I submitted a proposal on behalf of a mesh wifi net I co-founded here (http://gowasabi.net), and even STL city gov't submitted its own proposals (http://stlcin.missouri.org/googlefiber/), pushing fiber out to neighborhoods will have network effects that hopefully transform this country's broadband infrastructure for the better.
