YOU OCCASIONALLY HEAR SOME FRANKFORT CITIZEN SAY….LETS MAKE FRANKFORT INDIANA ALL IT CAN BE.   LETS IMPROVE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE FACTORIES THAT ARE HERE…..AND LET US POSITION OURSELVES TO ATTRACT MORE, ENVIORMENTLY FRIENDLY OUTSIDE INVESTMENT IN OUR TOWN.   LETS POSITION OURSELVES SO WE CAN POSSIBLY ATTRACT 21ST CENTURY BUSINESS INVESTMENTS THAT BRINGING IN HIGHER PAYING JOBS.   WE CAN MAKE FRANKFORT MORE DESIREABLE AND IN TUNE WITH 21 CENTURY TECHNOLOGY.  CONSENTRATE ON WHAT WE HAVE GOING FOR US AND WITH FOLLOW THROUGH….MAKE TECHNOLOGY SERVE OUR COMMUNITY MORE EFFECTIVELY.    

IT IS THE 21ST CENTURY.  LIKE IT OR NOT FRANKFORT INDIANA IS NOW A PART OF THAT 21ST CENTURY.  IT IS TIME WE, AS CITIZENS OF FRANKFORT INDIANA REALIZE THAT FACT AND START FACING THE CHALLENGES AND START REAPING  THE REWARDS OF 21ST CENTURY TECHNOLOGY.    THINKING IN THESE TERMS…..I OFFER THE FOLLOW SUGGESTION. 

LET US POSITION OURSELVES SO WE CAN DEMONSTRATE TO OUTSIDE INVESTORS THAT WE ARE NOT JUST ANOTHER ‘HOOSER HICK TOWN’ IN INDIANA.  

I MAKE THE FOLLING SUGGESTION TO THE FRANKFORT CITY COUNCIL.    CONSIDER CREATING A TECHNICAL ADVISORY BOARD.  PERHAPS A GROUP OF NO MORE THAN THREE PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY TUNED INTO TO THE 21ST CENTURY……TECHNICALLY SAVY…..AND HAVE THE BEST INTERESTS OF FRANKFORT AT HEART.  

EXPECT THIS TECHNICAL ADVISORY BOARD TO MAKE REALISTIC SUGGESTIONS, SUPPLY RECOMMENDATIONS AND GIVE GUIDANCE THAT ADVANCES THE CITY OF FRANKFORT IN TECHNICAL AREAS.  

LET ME GIVE YOU A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR OPENERS.  FRANKFORT IS NOW MISSING OPPORTUNITIES AND I WILL, FOR OPENERS,  NAME JUST A FEW.  

OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE UTILITY INFRUSTRUCTURE CONTROL THROUGH THE

EXISTING FIBER OPTICS BRIDGE.  WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL OF THE VARIOUS FRANKFORT UTILITY SUBS AND OTHER STATIONS….OPPPORTUNITIES FOR SECURITY CAMERAS IN VARIOUS SENSITIVE PLACES…..OPPORTUNITIES TO UTILIZE OUR EXISTING $875,000, BUT UNDER UTILIZED DATA CENTER…..MERCHINDIZING OUR VAST SUPPLY OF DARK FIBER ON OUR 21ST CENTURY FIBER OPTICS BRIDGE THAT AS ALREADY CONSTRUCTED COMING WITHIN 6 BLOCKS OF EVERY HOUSE IN FRANKFORT INDIANA,…..BETTER AND MORE AGRESSIVELY MERCHINDIZE OUR EXISTING 21ST CENTURY ASSETS TO PROSPECTIVE  JOB PRODUCING INVESTORS. 

WE SUGGEST THE FRANKFORT CITY COUNCIL SERIOUSLY CONSIDER  CREATING A TECHNICAL ADVISORY BOARD.  PERHAPS A GROUP OF NO MORE THAN THREE PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY TUNED INTO TO THE 21ST CENTURY……TECHNICALLY SAVY…..AND HAVE THE BEST INTERESTS OF FRANKFORT AT HEART.   

FRANKFORT NEEDS TO MORE AGRESSIVELY IMPOROVE OUR COMPETATIVE COMMUNITY STANDING WHEN IT COMES TO ATTRACTING ‘JOB PRODUCING’ INVESTMENTS IN OUR FRANKFORT COMMUNITY.  THE CREATION OF A TECHNICAL ADVISORY BOARD WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT STEP IN THAT DIRECTION.
