City Council Meeting August 13, 2001 Page 10 in Lamar County. Another aspect shown by the study was the need for video conferencing. Mr. Walters explained the interacting video with other colleges such as Greenville, Sulphur Springs, A&M Commerce, Stephen F. Austin University and Sam Houston State University. The tower will allow information from these universities to be brought into this community for the use of schools in East Texas. Since the overall organization includes A&M Commerce and Northeast Texas in Tyler persons in Paris would have access to their information also. Paris Junior College would be able to bring information into our community and provide additional education for people in our community so they do not have to travel as far to get their degree. Paris has been asked to be the hub for this part of the state for broadcasting and therefore the tower needs to be 380 feet tall.
