Statewide Broadband Event

Home > Calendar > News > Statewide Broadband Event

Improving the quality of Broadband connectivity is a quality of life necessity, quickly becoming as important as electricity!   Millions of dollars in federal funding have been designated to build out broadband access for improved internet speed and reliability across Nebraska, and our communities need to be ready to compete for these valuable dollars.

Join us Monday, March 21, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Metro Community College’s Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CAM) on the South Omaha Campus to explore Bridging Nebraska’s Digital Divide.  Nebraska’s eight Economic Development Districts are hosting this statewide event through the Nebraska Regional Officials Council, made possible in part by Nebraska Public Power District. 

A virtual option is available if participants are not able to attend in-person.  

Register here by March 14, 2022.

Cost: $10 (includes a box lunch if on-site)
