Make Open Project Night more visitor-friendly

The parking lot will be inaccessible sometime this year due to construction in the neighboring lot (The church is unsure of dates, should let us know when ``they`` are updated)

TLDR: Comcast pricing sucks - Gabriel reached out to check pricing, no discounts for nonprofits, business line only. We will look into Astound, highly recommended by Chris and Kyle
