Meeting Councilman Troy Miller - a conversation about the Columbus tech town of 2030

Yesterday had the opportunity to meet Columbus City Councilman Troy Miller. What a breath of fresh air...Troy struck me as someone with the kind of vision, passion, and energy that we need in Columbus.

" He believes the City of Columbus, as evidenced by Forbes Magazine naming Columbus on their list of “Top 10 Up-And-Coming Tech Cities” in America, is uniquely positioned to attract and retain young professionals who want to work for the business and information technology corporations that shape the global Information Systems field"

One of initiatives Troy shared with me he is working on is to secure federal stimulus funds to help build a more robust wireless broadband infrastructure in Columbus....I wish he and us luck in this endeavor
 
 If you see Troy on the street say hi and ask him about his vision for technology in Columbus...

More to come about my conversations with Troy...until then meet Troy
