[UCIMC-Tech] Re: [Imc-bookkeeper] Fwd: [MADCoList] broadband stimulus

[Josh King]

I think this sounds like a good idea and I will pursue this with other 
Tech/Web people as soon as the application guide comes online. I agree 
with Sascha that we should do this ASAP. I've already applied for $30000 
in stimulus funds through the state recovery website to expand the 
server room and technical capacity within the building, but it couldn't 
hurt to have a lot of different applications afloat.
