ALPHARETTA, Ga., March 5, 2007 — Civitium, LLC, the market-leading consulting firm for municipal broadband and Digital Community initiatives, has been retained to provide advisory services for the City of Las Vegas and Clark County, Nevada, one of the fastest-growing communities in the United States.
"We want to learn how a wireless broadband infrastructure might benefit our vastly changing community and enhance our ability to deliver local government services to our constituents. We look forward to the findings and recommendations from Civitium’s study," said Joseph Marcella, CIO for the City of Las Vegas.
The City of Las Vegas, jointly with Clark County, has retained Civitium to conduct a study to determine what role the City and the County should play to affect the deployment of a wireless broadband network serving the community. The results of the study will inform elected officials as they consider recommendations and determine the best course of action.
"As our constituents come to expect on-demand access to government services, a community-wide infrastructure is needed," said Laura Fucci, CIO for Clark County, Nevada. "This study will help us understand current and future demand in this area. We are excited to be taking this strategic next step with the City of Las Vegas and Civitium," she added.
"Civitium is pleased to be supporting the City and the County in this initiative. Explosive regional growth, coupled with an extraordinary tourism industry will make this one of the most dynamic community broadband projects in the country," said Patrick McCamley, Senior Partner with Civitium.
