��P��T 1��� <br />oneline _.. morechoice <br />Opportunitylowa Press Release <br />Iowa's long term economic future. A11 of this is possible while further enriching the quality of life <br />standards that Iowa is known for." <br />Opportunitylowa also seeks to prevent legislation that would hinder 1oca1 communities from securing a <br />1oca1 communications utility. Opposing such legislation, which is introduced annually and is designed <br />to restrict or prohibit 1oca1 communities from forming or operating communications utilities, <br />OpportunityIowa remains a strong supporter of citizen control and 1oca1 community choice. <br />"OpportunityIowa is about empowering Iawa citizens to take action, and preserving their ability to do <br />so," stated C1ark McLepd_ "Forming a communications utility is an essential first step toward <br />positioning a community to explore a11 of their options. For those communities seeking more affordable <br />communications services designed Io promote economic development, or to provide more advanced and <br />lower cost communications alternatives to citizens, a municipal utility may be the best – and perhaps <br />only—option available. Retaining this alternative is extremely important for Iowa citizens, businesses <br />and communities. <br />Additional information about Opportunitylowa can he found at 1�• ti�rti4�.�P����r; i r���� 1: �x+•.� � 7'�, or by calling <br />1-877-UNITY-IA.
