Tech Development Authority Donates Money to Google Earth?
...the Ben Franklin Technology Development Authority donated $285,000 to Google Earth, Carnegie Mellon University, NASA, The Pennsylvania Tourism Office, and the National Civil War Museum. The money will be used to help develop an online mapping website that will display and promote Pennsylvania’s Civil War trails.
Can you donate money to Google? Google Earth?
More correctly, from the official press release:
The Governor said the state will provide a $285,000 grant to support an unprecedented partnership between Google Earth, Carnegie Mellon University, NASA, the Pennsylvania Tourism Office and the National Civil War Museum that will allow ‘virtual tourists’ from all corners of the globe to immerse themselves in Pennsylvania’s Civil War trails.
I can’t imagine Google will take any of the money…
