To some skeptics, the title of this column is an oxymoron.
I'm proud that the Heath-Newark-Licking County Port Authority team are innovators. And, yes, we are government too.
A few years back, Total Facilities Magazine reported on the Port Authority's application of wireless networking technology saying, "While the HNLCPA is a government entity. . .it operates like a private company." It added a few other buzz words: “impressive,” “ambitious,” and cost-effective.
Using in-house resources, our team built a solar-powered, wireless internet camera system to monitor construction projects on our campus. We celebrated one year of continuous operation solely on the sun.
We also have a trailer hitch device for testing fire hydrants.
It sounds like a marketing concept, but I think its true. The Port Authority is a government innovator.
