Blogger's Note: Congratulations to Marsha.  And yes...we take education in this community pretty seriously, and yes I will shamelessly and repeatedly say how great it is to have someone like Marsha in our schools.  If you don't think this helps Sun Prairie to attract business, think again.

Southern Wisconsin Region Manager Terry Kucera, National Region Senior Vice President Rhonda Lutzke, Central Region Field Marketing Director Burgess Harrison, Director of Operations Charles Staeven and Frontier Communications Chief Operating Officer Dan McCarthy met with Mayor John Murray, Council President Zach Weber, and Alderman Jon Freund to introduce themselves to one another.   Economic Development Director Neil Stechschulte then took the Frontier team on a tour of Sun Prairie.  The Frontier team is showing Dan McCarthy around Sun Prairie and Frontier's Southern Region as a part of a tour of statewide facilities and service territories in Wisconsin.   The team then adjourned to Buck and Honey's restaurant with some community partners for dinner.  Frontier has made and is making considerable investment in infrastructure throughout their territory in Wisconsin, and was looking to initiate a more formal conversation about Sun Prairie's future needs.
