“With rising costs of everything these days, we are excited residents will be able to use free internet at the Community Building and Welcome Park, thanks to Paulding Putnam,” said Jay Denny, President of the Grover Hill Lions Club, who manages the building and park. “This means service for local groups who meet in this building, like the library and fire department, and those renting it for parties, reunions, and more. It’s a really good thing and aligns with our mission as Lions – to help the community.”

“It’s been an honor to partner with Grover Hill Mayor Dewayne Hinchcliff,” said Nick Eltzroth, Chief Operating Officer. “We strive to build communities where everyone—students, grandparents, local leaders, remote workers, and neighbors alike—has the connectivity needed to succeed in today’s digital world.”

Welcome Park will also recieve free Wi-Fi from the co-op as part of the new village partnership.
