ADECA broadband assistance meetings open to public

In response to the critical need for internet access, the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs has developed the Alabama Community Broadband Technical Assistance Program. Through this program, ADECA is providing technical assistance for communities seeking to expand broadband infrastructure and services in all of Alabama’s 67 counties.

Meetings have been scheduled to produce insights and the data needed to build broadband planning and deployment capacity. For information, visit https://adeca.alabama.gov/broadband/.
