According to Winter Park Mayor Steve Leary, “Improving our residents and guests’ quality of life is very important to us. The city has been working diligently, through our Information Technology Department, to expand the city’s private fiber network. We are very excited to partner with Frog, one of our local small businesses, to launch this new service to enhance our downtown business district for our residents, businesses and guests.”
Michael Voll, CEO of Frog, offered, “I am thrilled to announce our partnership with the City of Winter Park. I am also grateful to call this wonderful city home to our corporate headquarters, and the place my wife and I have chosen to raise our family. This project represents more than the technological innovation it delivers. It continues the family legacy of serving this community that my wife’s grandfather, Britt Simms, began in the 1950s with Cooper Simms Nelson and Mosley Insurance, and was carried on by my father-in-law, Steve Simms. During these unprecedented times, I am especially grateful to partner with the city in giving back to the community. This project will enhance the experience of the special place we call home.”
