(Juneau) Dodge County officials are highlighting upcoming virtual meetings on the recently announced Internet for All Wisconsin initiative. Governor Tony Evers and the Public Service Commission (PSC) are holding several listening sessions to help develop the state’s five-year action plan to deploy high-speed internet and improve internet affordability.
Wisconsin could expect an allocation of $800-million-dollars to $1.1-billion to implement the state’s five-year action plan for broadband. As well as roughly $25-million-dollars to implement the state’s Digital Equity Plan under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s ‘Internet for All’ programs. In December, Evers and the PSC announced the nearly $6-million federal investment for the state to develop these plans by gathering local input from Wisconsinites in broadband access and digital inclusion activities.
Two virtual meetings are planned for Monday, May 22nd from 6pm to 7pm and on June 6th from 8:30am to 10am. The closest in-person meeting will be held at the Madison College Truax Gateway at 1701 Wright Street in Madison on Tuesday, May 23rd from 1pm to 3pm.
