Capitol Broadband, LLC, partners with leading developers to deliver fiber optics to new communities. Today, Capitol Broadband is actively involved in the implementation of approximately 20 state-of-the-art fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) communities. These communities will serve more than 30,000 residents. Capitol’s approach is unique. Confident that fiber will offer the bandwidth required by residents of these communities, not only today but in the future, Capitol invests its capitol to install a fiber infrastructure throughout those communities -- a major difference between itself and most companies who require the developer to make that investment. Capitol differentiates itself further by contracting with leading service providers rather than providing services directly. This enables Capitol to deliver to new communities the largest array of services, including voice, video, data, and security (a grand slam) at prices significantly lower than from incumbent providers. Participating developers enhance the attractiveness and value of their communities and participate in the success of the telecommunications offerings through rentals paid to them for easements.

Duany Plater-Zyberk
Since its founding in 1980, Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company has completed designs for over 250 new and existing communities. This work has exerted a major influence on the practice and direction of urban planning in the United States. DPZ’s projects have received numerous awards, including two National AIA Awards and two Governor’s Urban Design Awards for Excellence. The firm’s early project of Seaside, Florida, was the first authentic new town to be built successfully in the United States in over fifty years. In 1989, Time Magazine selected Seaside as one of the 10 “Best of the Decade” achievements in the field of design. The firm has been featured in other national media such as NBC News and ABC News, as well as Newsweek, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the New Yorker. A significant aspect of DPZ’s work is its innovative use of planning regulations, including the Urban and Architectural Codes that accompany each design. Tailored to the individual project, the codes address the manner in which buildings are formed and located to ensure that they create useful and distinctive public spaces. Local architectural traditions and building techniques are also codified within the regulations.

When the town of Seaside, Florida was created, it was the first manifestation of what has since become known as the New Urbanism. This return to the traditional neighborhood as a model has changed the way builders and planners view development, world-wide.
From the beginning, Robert Davis, Seaside's founder, realized that Seaside would benefit from constant study and refinement in order to ensure its residents a full community life. He created The Seaside Institute in 1982 for just this purpose, using Seaside as a living laboratory.
Through its forums and conferences on architecture, planning and urban affairs, The Institute has become a dynamic resource for everyone interested in making communities better.
The Seaside Institute is also the cultural heart of Seaside, sponsoring world-class arts events of all kinds for Seaside residents and visitors and the residents of neighboring communities.
