Everyone in our state can benefit from affordable, reliable high-speed internet service, but an estimated one-third of Michigan households struggle with some form of the digital divide.

We’re getting ready to change that.

The MIHI team has been hard at work continuing the MI Connected Future statewide listening tour.

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.

We are hosting in-person community meetings in each region of the state. Attendees can look forward to being active participants in the development of the Michigan Five-Year Action Plan and the Michigan Digital Equity Plan. Join us for the meeting that works best for you.

The following locations are currently scheduled, with more on the way:

Mt. Pleasant: March 23, 4 - 6:00 p.m.

Baldwin: April 12, 5 - 7:00 p.m.

West Branch: April 18, 5 - 7:00 p.m.

Rogers City: April 26, 5 - 7:00 p.m.

We encourage you to join us – and invite other neighbors and community members to join you – at a listening tour stop near you.
