Public WiFi at the Salem Little League Ballfield

We are pleased to announce that through a collaboration between Jackson County REMC, the City of Salem, and the Washington County Community Foundation, there is now public WiFi at Salem Park (Little League Ballfield).  This was made possible through a Digital Towns grant through Regional Opportunities Initiatives. 

The public is invited to a ribbon cutting to celebrate this tremendous asset in our community on May 22, 2025 at 10:30 AM at the ballfields. 

Now, patrons of the ballfield can not only play ball, but do homework, play a game on a device, or watch an MLB game on their phone thanks to the installation of WiFi. 

“We love collaborating with community partners such as the City of Salem and Jackson County REMC to make big impacts in Washington County. We are so appreciative to Regional Opportunities Initiatives for the opportunity to apply for this amazing grant and to the generous donors of Washington County Community Foundation that make it possible to better our community,” exclaimed Lindsey Wade-Swift of the Community Foundation.

Washington County Community Foundation is a nonprofit public charity established in 1993 to serve donors, award grants, and provide leadership to improve Washington County forever
