What is a telecommunity center?

A telecommunity center is a new place to work and learn using technology. It provides public access to professional work space, high quality computer and office equipment, high speed Internet access, classrooms and meeting facilities. It encourages telework, business development and learning through personal computing, classes, workshops and training to enhance quality of life, improve the local economy and reduce cross-region trips. A center’s conference rooms and classrooms provide a convenient meeting place for teleconferences, distance learning and training. They also serve as a resource for local workers, students, entrepreneurs and small, emerging businesses.
