Home Depot's New Tech Direction: Good News for Athens?

This is exciting news, and it could mean some cool things for us homeowners right here in Athens, GA.
What does this mean for you? Think about it. Home Depot is a huge company. When they get better at using technology, it can affect everything from the products they sell to the prices they offer. And, yes, even the services you get from local companies like us at Smart Home Repair (SHR).
