Heartside's proposed high-tech communications system to point residents to resources in Grand Rapids

The Rapidian reports that Grand Rapids' Heartside residents could soon have a new electronic communications system in the neighborhood that will help them identify resources for food, shelter, classes and events.

According to excerpts from the story:

Heartside residents and visitors may soon experience a technology leap that is intended to help them identify resources in the area. The Heartside-Downtown Electronic Communications System (H-DECS) will be a wireless network of flat screen monitors that scroll announcements about currently available resources like food, shelter, classes and events in the area. Some of the screens will face outward behind storefront windows while others will be in places where residents regularly gather, like Degage and God’s Kitchen.
