Playing on Scranton’s “Electric City” title, the initiative redubbed the city “The Fiber City” and started a campaign to grow support for Scranton as a Google Fiber host city. The Fiber City group sought out support from local business leaders and government officials while developing a website, Facebook and Twitter pages to encourage community interest and interaction. BlackOut donated the website and logo design for the Fiber City initiative.

To support Scranton in its bid to become a Google Fiber host city, become a fan on Facebook or submit a public nomination to Google.
