Prestonsburg recently won an award for “Most innovative use of technology” Congrats!

The award was awarded for the wireless access being provided, even though it’s still in a “test” phase. The full article can be read here. According to the article the wireless access has been able to recruit new businesses to downtown. What new businesses? Or are businesses relocating to downtown? The article also says that they are plans for a new Technological business park and a new government website. The park sounds like a cool/good idea but what new government website is needed? I would be ecstatic if I could pay my water bill online & check current usage. Big Sandy RECC has the online bill pay feature but why can’t they show current usage for the month? Plus how about employment opportunities? No way to check online. And the current Prestonsburg website (prestonsburg.net) is completely useless. I assume this is the official Prestonsburg website as it is registered to “The city of Prestonsburg” If I am wrong someone please correct me.
