Municipal Digital Equity Planning Underway - 35 Municipalities Enrolled
Since launching the Municipal Digital Equity Planning Program in November 2022, MBI has approved 35 municipalities. Enrolled municipalities partner with a professional consultant to complete their first-ever Digital Equity plans! This program is funded by MBI and municipalities incur no cost to participate. Digital Equity planning is a critical first step to prepare for federal Digital Equity capacity funding planned for states through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
