BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT
“A lot of children in this community, a lot of families in this community still don’t own computers or have access to proper internet services.”
Now, there’s something being done that could rejuvenate this neighborhood. What you see here may look like an ordinary house in the Apalachee Ridge Community, but it may not be so ordinary after all.
It’s called the Neighborhood Technology Center or “Tech Hub.”
Inside you’ll find 12 working desktop computers, and more packaged laptops in the back. It’s all designed to close the digital divide in our area.
The best part? It’s free to the community!
