ICMA's Program Excellence Award for Innovations in Local Government management recognizes a local government that has successfully applied the concepts of reinvention, reengineering, TQM, customization, or other cutting-edge organizational tool. In 2003, ICMA presented the award in the 50,000-and-under population category to the city of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and City Manager Michael S. Copp for the Glenwood Springs Community Broadband Project. This article describes how Glenwood Springs built a broadband network to promote its economic base; provide connection among government offices; and allow for new education, health care, and residential and business services.
