Empowerment Center Locations
In February 2023, Vistabeam opened its first digital empowerment center in Torrington Wyoming. The establishment of the center has helped to serve our community in ways that were formerly impossible, and we were awarded the 2023 Cornerstone Award at the Broadband Communities Summit for this pioneering creation. We have since opened another location in Yuma, Colorado. All of our empowerment centers are open to everyone, regardless of whether they are Vistabeam customers. Services are offered free of charge.
Vistabeam’s Empowerment Centers offer workstations equipped with broadband-enabled computers for citizens to do tasks such as:
