STONINGTON, Maine — Internet access is something many take for granted, but for residents in the town of Stonington like Melissa Jones-Bayley, getting online has been difficult.
“We’ve had some upgrades on the island for internet, but this building has been a tough spot, right now we have our own internet and it’s not great all the time,” Jones-Bayley said.
Jones-Bayley is the owner of one of six businesses located in the town’s former elementary school, which will be the sight for Stonington’s new connectivity hub made possible through the Maine Connectivity Authority (MCA).
With the new hub, the town hopes to not only provide a space with high-speed internet access but also services to help people better understand unfamiliar technology.
