RICHMOND, Ind. More than 1,500 Wayne County households shared information about their home internet service and usage during a countywide March survey.
The results show the county needs improved broadband service, from better coverage to faster speeds, and the Wayne County Broadband Taskforce is taking steps to make that possible.
According to the Purdue Center for Regional Development, which partnered with the county group, 1,536 households, more than 5% of the county s households, participated in the survey. Of those, 1,327 allowed their locations to be mapped. The responses came from throughout the county.
“We’re really pleased with the response, said Acacia St. John, the program coordinator for Forward Wayne County. From what we understand from all the surveys that have been done like that around the state of Indiana, we were told we had the second-highest sample. So that’s great.
On the other side, Fort Wayne Police Department Capt. Kevin Hunter spoke in favor of the syringe exchange.
Wayne County s program was the fifth in the state when it began. It was implemented to slow the spread of hepatitis C in the county.
The syringe exchange program maintains regular hours of noon-2 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at the health department, 100 S. Fifth St. It also has utilized the department s new mobile unit 3-5 p.m. Tuesdays at the Phillips Drugs location at 1390 National Road W. and 3-5 p.m. Thursdays at the Phillips Drugs at 1626 E. Main St.
The exchange is part of the health department s harm reduction program, according to its website. In addition to receiving clean needles, participants receive wound care and safe injection supplies and are trained in safe injections.
