    “I had the privilege of working with the HBCU Smart Cities Program teams over a couple of months, and every meeting with them was amazing. We would talk about the challenges, the technology, the people and processes of our communities, and their ideas and execution never ceased to amaze me. The opportunity to work with these bright minds has been a great experience for myself and our city.”
