Michigan is poised to receive more than $1.75 billion from the federal government to expand high-speed internet service and achieve digital equity. Every region and every community in our state has unique needs when it comes to getting everyone connected. We need input from them all - and that means, we want to hear from you. Your feedback and all information gathered during the MI Connected Future tour will have a direct impact on how Michigan designs our plans to invest these once-in-a-generation federal resources. MIHI is launching the MI Connected Future tour in Detroit on Jan. 11. While our tour will start in southeast Michigan, we plan to hold meetings from shore to shore and border to border to ensure everyone can participate.
