The 69-year-old retiree says she was at first thrilled when the city announced plans to create a train stop nearby, streamlining the once onerous commute to downtown Boston. She had signed petitions and attended meetings to encourage the MBTA to build the stop that has now opened across the street.
HarpData, hired to provide wi-fi access to thousands of low-income families, is closing without finishing the job Author: Investigative Post, Geoff Kelly Published: 10:42 AM EST December 10, 2020 Updated: 10:42 AM EST December 10, 2020
BUFFALO, N.Y. After nearly two years of doubts and delays, Buffalo Public Schools is canceling a contract to provide free wireless internet to some of the district’s neediest students.
The reason: HarpData, the company the district hired to do the job, is going out of business.
An attorney for HarpData, Joseph Makowski, confirmed that CEO Ivory Robinson Jr. is “winding down” the company’s operations. Staff has been laid off. The company’s offices on Delaware Avenue in downtown Buffalo remain under lease, Makowski said, but are closed for business.
