Merit Network will be holding a community meeting to provide an introduction to the Onaway area and southern Presque Isle County communities on Merit’s Broadband Stimulus Project, REACH-3MC.

On November 3, 2010, representatives from Merit Network will introduce the plans for this project and answer questions on how the community can take advantage of this high-speed network.
This meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. EDT on November 3 at:
Onaway Community Credit Union
20855 Washington Avenue
Onaway, MI 49765
The meeting will take place at 5:30 p.m. and is open to the public.
