- Palm Bay, Florida, city officials are gathering information to make a bid for Google Fiber. They are going to hold 2 public forums for gathering their citizens’ ideas on the matter.
- Mayor Kiss of Burlington, Mermont, has been on the news discussing it.
- Flint, in Genesse County, Michigan, is beginning a campaign.
- A group in Baltimore has built a website in which technology company executives are interviewed on video expressing interest and citizens are marking their interest with pins on a map (probably a Google map). They also use a Google Group to coordinate efforts.
- The mayor of Duluth, MN staged an event where he jumped into Lake Superior in a t-shirt and shorts (in that state’s cold weather), as well as being involved in a spoof video on YouTube.
- Topeka, Kansas temporarily renamed itself Google, Kansas.
- Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids,

Hello! Came across your site during my research, and thought you would be interested that the City of Orlando intends to apply for Google Fiber for Communities. We’re launching a campaign to rally the public support that Google is looking for in potential communities through http://getgoogling.com. Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks,
