North Carolina Department of Information Technology Closes $17 Million Digital Opportunity Grant Program

On Friday, May 9, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration terminated North Carolina’s $22.4 million Digital Equity Capacity grant. Without this funding, the North Carolina Department of Information Technology is not able to move forward with the $17 million Digital Opportunity Grant program, which would have expanded North Carolinians’ access to digital devices, help desk and technical support, as well as digital skills and online safety programs.
