Manager for Frontier in Rochester, N.Y., accepted a proclamation from
the City of Rochester today at City Hall as Rochester Mayor Robert J.
Duffy designated June 20, 2008 “Frontier Day.”
The Mayor also presented Wilderotter and Burr with a Key to the City.
“Frontier has a long history of outstanding
corporate citizenship in our city,” said
Rochester Mayor Robert J. Duffy. “They are a
tremendous local partner that provides first-class communication
services to our residents and also assists the City of Rochester with
bridging the digital divide in our downtown community.”
“This is a tremendous honor,”
said Wilderotter. “Frontier always has been,
and will continue to be, deeply committed to Rochester, and we are
humbled that the City has chosen to recognize our ongoing commitment to
this community.”
During the “Frontier Day”

donation of desktop computers and High-Speed Internet connections to
Rochester Children’s Zone Inc. (RCZ) and the
City of Rochester. Frontier partnered with RCZ to select four sites
within the Children’s Zone that would benefit
from the deployment of the equipment and Internet connections, which
will be available to all area residents. The four sites are:
- Avenue D. Recreation Center at 200 Avenue D
- Anthony Jordan Center at 82 Holland Street
- NEAD Freedom School at 630 N. Goodman Street

“Frontier is delighted to make this donation,”

Zone, Councilman Adam McFadden, for partnering with us on this
initiative.”
