DESCRIPTION:Please join the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) at an upcoming regional conference to learn more about broadband and digital equity funding and provide input into the state’s plans for infrastructure deployment and digital equity support. \n \nThe Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development’s Office of Statewide Broadband invites you to attend one of its upcoming regional conferences to discuss broadband funding and accessibility in Maryland\, as the state creates a plan for broadband infrastructure deployment and a plan to increase access to digital technology and education. \nFunded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law\, the federal programs Digital Equity and Broadband Equity\, Access\, and Deployment (BEAD) were introduced to ensure that all communities can access and use affordable\, reliable high-speed internet to meet their needs and improve their lives\, as well as to get all Americans online by funding partnerships between states\, communities and stakeholders to build infrastructure where we need it to and increase adoption of high-speed internet. The first step in utilizing this funding is for Maryland to create a broadband and a digital equity plan. These conferences are to present topics and gather input from stakeholders that will be used during the planning process. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n                                                             9:00 am – 4:00 pm EST\nDate                                          (Check-in begins at 8:30 am)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, April 11\, 2023\nRegister\n \n\n\n\nFrostburg State University\nAlice R.
