How will states spend federal broadband dollars?

A webinar with a bipartisan panel of state lawmakers to learn how states are addressing the digital divide and what federal lawmakers may want to consider for future federal broadband efforts.

Speakers:

• Missouri State Representative Louis Riggs
• West Virginia State Delegate Daniel Linville
• West Virginia State Senator Robert Plymale
• Teresa Ferguson, director of federal broadband engagement, Colorado Broadband Office
• Dr. Tamarah Holmes, director of the office of broadband, Commonwealth of Virginia

Kathryn de Wit, project director of the broadband access initiative (moderator)

During this webinar, a panel of state legislators will discuss their broadband policy challenges, including what’s worked, what’s left to do, key hurdles they face, and – importantly – how federal leaders can help. The state legislators will also discuss how recent federal stimulus dollars from the American Rescue Plan Act may affect their broadband expansion efforts. We hope you’ll join us for this conversation.
