The Liquid Web ground breaking event (video above) included a five minute tour of the two existing liquid web data centers, a brief presentation by Matt and then some words from Governor Jennifer Granholm. On stage are former mayor, and all around amazing guy, David Hollister and Delta Township Supervisor Joe Drolett. In the crowed were Representatives Rick Jones and Joan Bauer. I wish I had the memory to list everyone that attended.
Below is a playlist of four of ten (that I know of) resulting broadcast press clips from Fox 47, NBC 10, ABC 53, and CBS 6.

Slight typo correction: Could be wrong, Trav, but if memory serves, Hollister is the former mayor, n0t governor.
