It’s a really good thing and aligns with our mission as Lions – to help the community.”

“It’s been an honor to partner with Grover Hill Mayor Dewayne Hinchcliff,” said Nick Eltzroth, Chief Operating Officer. “We strive to build communities where everyone—students, grandparents, local leaders, remote workers, and neighbors alike—has the connectivity needed to succeed in today’s digital world.”
