Around Utah

SOUTHERN UTAH

St. George - WILSON ELECTRONICS and Verizon Wireless have agreed upon new technical specifications for consumer cellular boosters, which the two companies have filed jointly in response to the FCC’s signal booster NPRM. Boosters meeting new stricter design standards can ensure that private users as well as government agencies can continue to have reliable service in areas where signal coverage may not be optimal due to terrain.

Fredonia - FREDONIA was chosen to receive a $15,000 grant from KaBOOM! and its partners, Dr Pepper and Snapple, for new playground equipment at the city park. A video created by the town office and featuring several of the town’s children launched the application process for the grant. As a condition of the grant, the town must raise an additional $9,000 for the equipment, as well as funding for the ground surface beneath the set.
