Everyone in our state can benefit from affordable, reliable high-speed internet service, but nearly 1 in 6 Michiganders either don't have access to, can't afford or are missing the skills and technology needed for an internet connection. We're getting ready to change that. Michigan is poised to receive more than $1.6 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. Join the MIHI Office as we host in-person community meetings in each region of the state by choosing the meeting that works best for you.
