How the community will use it:

The high-speed internet and meeting rooms will encourage and foster local, home-based business uses and growth of opportunity for the community. The outdoor pavilions and landscape will lend themselves to maintaining much-needed outdoor open space for natural enjoyment and a healthy lifestyle.
