Potential Improvements in Internet Services


One major aspect of the project is the provision of advanced internet services. This initiative would aim to bridge the digital divide, ensuring residents have access to high-speed internet, essential for education, business, and everyday communication. With better internet infrastructure, the community would be more connected than ever, enabling students, businesses, and families to thrive in the digital age.


Job Creation


In addition to improved connectivity, ZiTEL's project would generate local employment opportunities. By establishing operations at the Body Camp Elementary site, ZiTEL is committed to hiring locally, providing residents with stable jobs and contributing to the local economy. This move is expected to have a ripple effect, boosting economic activity and supporting local businesses.


Community Engagement and Input


ZiTEL values community input and is dedicated to ensuring that the project aligns with local needs and aspirations. By actively engaging with residents and stakeholders, ZiTEL aims to create a project that not only meets current demands but also anticipates future growth and development.


Positive Community Impact
