27. Visions – From the Past “ The citizens of Lafayette have put themselves on record as being unequivocally in favor of progress and improved methods in matters that concern their well being and Lafayette has served a formal notice to the outside world that hereafter it proposes to occupy a position in the front rank of “up-to-date” towns on the American continent.” “ In common with the rest, The Advertiser is highly elated over the new order of things in course of development for Lafayette.” “ The Advertiser predicts that with the advent of waterworks and electric lights Lafayette is going to begin making history. Watch us!” - Lafayette Advertiser , March 28, 1896

28. Visions – For the Future “ We believe LUS Fiber will mean more good-paying jobs and a better quality of life for the people of Lafayette. The availability of advanced, affordable telecommunications services to assure the ultimate efficiency in the transfer of information will be a priority of businesses looking for places to locate or expand operations. LUS Fiber will draw them to our city.” “ The plan is seen by national publications such as USA Today as a visionary, pioneering step toward a place of leadership in the global economy.” “ Because our city officials have been willing and able to think outside the box, we have an opportunity to build a communications infrastructure that will move Lafayette far ahead of other cities.” - Lafayette Advertiser , January 16, 2008
