Logan Fire Department Opens Public Computer Lab
WEST VIRGINIA....
On Thursday, the Logan Fire Department became the first of 60 fire stations across West Virginia to operate a public computer lab offering free broadband access and basic computer skills training to anyone. Ten computers and workstations, each equipped with webcams and connected to a printer, will be installed in each of the 60 fire stations. A laptop and big-screen LED will be standard components in each lab. Twenty computer labs are scheduled to open by the end of this year, and 40 more will open during the following two years. The Future Generations Graduate School in Pendleton County was awarded a $4.4 million federal stimulus grant for the program.
