Good News Friday: Teamwork
Today’s #GoodNewsFriday is a tribute to teamwork. As I teased last Friday and as we announced earlier this week, leaders from across the county unveiled the Jones County Broadband Initiative, a countywide project to bring better, faster, and more affordable internet to our residents and businesses.
Competition between towns is healthy. Rivalries can be fun, in their place. There are five school districts and five communities in Jones County, and over the years, those communities have experienced fierce competition in athletics, academics, band, FFA/4-H, and other activities. But ultimately, the ties that bind us are much stronger than our differences and our rivalries. The Stamford Bulldogs and Anson Tigers might want to defeat each other, but their communities are much better when both are strong.
Our citizens recognize that in many ways, but our countywide broadband initiative is an outward expression of teamwork and the goal of improving each of our communities for the long run together. The Friday night lights are fun, but you know what’s even more fun and extremely powerful? Mutual prosperity.
