Zanesville Campus Receives Grant from AT&T to Enhance 911 Software

In February, the AT&T Foundation awarded an $18,280 grant so that the Zanesville campus of Zane State College and Ohio University-Zanesville, with cooperation from the Zanesville-Muskingum County Health Department and the County 911 Coordination Office, can build technology infrastructure for enhanced 911 software and text messaging.

The project will allow for programming specific locations on campus so that if 911 is called from campus, the first responders can find the location quickly. In addition, the project will help prepare the campus to serve as a point of distribution (POD) for the Zanesville Muskingum County Health Department should that ever become necessary.
