Why a Free WIFI Network in Hunts Point?
The Hunts Point Peninsula is a waterfront community which is home to the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center, various industrial and commercial businesses and residential community. Due to elevation and proximity to the waterfront, various areas of the peninsula have great potential for flooding putting business and residents at risk. In the case of of an emergency, the network will serve as a critical resource for communicating vital information.
