CORNWALL, Ont. - Cornwall will be deciding whether to jump on board a multi-million dollar project to wire up Eastern Ontario with high speed Internet.
The Eastern Ontario Regional Network is wiring 50-thousand square kilometres of the region by 2014 at a cost of $170 million.
City councillors will decide tonight on a $258,000 investment.
The United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, just outside Cornwall, are already in for just over a million dollars and other eastern Ontario cities like Kingston and Belleville are on board.
The project co-ordinator, Jim Pine, made a pitch to city council last month, saying high speed internet could help the city attract business other than logistics, such as data collection centres or video production companies.
