Streaming movie giant Netflix and the co-working BriefSpace at 219 W. 10th have something in common.
Hays’ unique co-working space provides high-speed Internet that benefits the world’s largest online entertainment provider, according to Doug Williams, executive director of Grow Hays, the developer of BriefSpace.
“We’ve got a kid down there now, he just came down, he’s renting an office down there, he needed the high-speed Internet and he does video-editing for Netflix,” Williams told the Hays City Commissioners on Thursday evening.
“He’s editing 4K video and he needed high-speed bandwidth, and he just loves the place, because he can come down and work and do what he couldn’t do at home or anywhere else in town without buying a very high-speed connection,” he said. “That’s the type of people we need to attract,” Williams said.
Williams made the comments to the Hays City Commission Thursday evening. He was explaining programs and projects at Grow Hays during the commission’s regular meeting in City Hall, 1507 Main St.
