Mayor
Campbell says "Digital Community Initiative"
will be part of poverty war: Speaking at the second
gathering of her "Poverty Summit"
yesterday, Mayor Jane Campbell made a public
commitment to push the city's long-planned
Digital Community Initiative into action. A first
DCI project will be launched in Hough in the next
few months, tied to a "lighted schoolhouse"
program at Daniel Morgan Elementary. Digital
Vision's staff and affiliates have been active
for the past year in the planning process for the
Initiative, which is based partly on our five-year program adopted in October 2003.
For an overview of the Digital Community plan see
