Broadband Survey
The Texas Broadband Development Office (BDO), which was recently established by the Governor’s office to address Broadband needs in the state, is seeking input from residents, through a brief survey, on their broadband needs and experience. Their input will help form a statewide broadband plan that will assist the Texas BDO in competing for National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) funds based on local and state needs. Under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, roughly $48 billion was allocated to the NTIA to address broadband needs with an emphasis on unserved and underserved areas.
Survey feedback will be collected through Thursday, May 5, 2022.
The survey is available in both English and Spanish and can be taken online:

Due to the COVID-19 public health crisis, Duncanville small businesses are facing a significant financial crisis. It has been estimated that only about one-half of America’s small businesses were able to apply for federal assistance before that first round of funding was committed and that 80% of them still do not know if their application was approved. With 53% of the nation’s jobs coming from businesses with less than 100 employees and with many of these jobs being disproportionately held by low/moderate-income people with already limited resources, much of the local economy is at great risk. To that end, the federal government has passed the American Rescue Plan Act, which gives local governments the ability to provide financial assistance to their local small businesses. The City of Duncanville has allocated $350,000 in ARPA funds to help Duncanville small businesses.
