City of Westminster takes step toward World-Class Broadband

City of Westminster takes step toward World-Class Broadband

Westminster, MD (April 16, 2013) With a vision of enabling world-class broadband access for its residents and businesses, the City of Westminster, Maryland is gauging the interest of private sector companies in providing ultra-high-speed Internet service over a City-built fiber optic network.

The City has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential partners that would operate, maintain, and sell consumer broadband services over the Citys planned infrastructure.

The network, which would connect to every home and business in the City in a “fiber-to-the- premises” (FTTP) architecture, would be able to match the capabilities of the most powerful broadband networks in the world, including the systems that Google is building in Kansas City and Austin, Texas, and the ultra-fast municipal network in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Westminster does not lie on any major highway routes, despite having a significant commuter population and being only 35 miles from Baltimore. The FTTP network project is the chance for Westminster to become a major destination on the highways of the 21st centurybroadband. Such a network would make Westminster one of the countrys most connected communities, belonging in the same category as places like Kansas City, Austin, and Chattanooga. A gigabit network would open up new applications for businesses, critical resources for the health care sector, and telework options that could bring an economic boom to the City.

Todays RFI is the latest development in a strategic broadband plan that began last fall, when the Westminster Common Council unanimously voted to commission a study on broadband expansion for the City. The Citys plans also build on the Carroll County Public Network (CCPN) and the soon-to-be-complete, federally funded Inter-County Broadband Network (ICBN).

All interested respondents are asked to submit a letter of intent via email by April 19, 2013 to rmiller@westgov.com, or via hard copy to: City of Westminster
Attn: Robert Miller
56 W. Main St. Westminster, MD 21157
Complete RFIs are due by May 3, 2013. The full RFI is available here:

Commissioners reject expansion of Carroll County Regional Airport

Commissioners reject expansion of Carroll County Regional Airport



One of the most ambitious, and contentious, issues in Carroll County over the past decade came to a crash landing on Thursday, Jan. 26, as the Board of County Commissioners rejected the $74 million expansion plan for Carroll County Regional Airport in Westminster.
In a 3-2 vote that came after statements by each commissioner, the board directed staff to begin creating a revised master plan for the airport — one that will accommodate only airplanes with small wing spans, classified as C-II aircraft.

Democratic Advocate , October 7, 1971: Fewer People Moving into Carroll county

Fewer People Moving into Carroll county

Democratic Advocate , October 7, 1971

Fewer People Moving Here - People are still moving into Carroll county, but not as fast as they used to, according to figures released this week by the county health department.

These statistics show that the rate of migration into the county dropped more than 30 per cent between 1960 and 1969 - from 20.0 to 13.4 per 1,000 of population.

In addition to the rate drop, which would occur naturally as the total population grows, the actual number of persons moving into the county annually has also dropped - by an estimated 100 per year in the same 10-year period.

Dr. James P. Earp, a sociology professor at Western Maryland College and chairman of the county's Economic Development Commission, blamed the trend on a lack of jobs and a shortage of housing.
