Access to reliable and affordable internet service is essential in today’s digital age.
One of the key focus areas for the WBCP partnership is improving broadband access and affordability. In recent years, the federal government has offered regional grants to install broadband service, but the grants are not available for individual municipalities, only for entire regions. To increase the chances of securing these grants, the WBCP is exploring opportunities for collaboration between neighboring municipalities. By combining forces, it may be easier to bring high-speed internet to more people in the area.
