Planning for next-generation internet across Appalachia
Appalachia Digital Accelerator
Much of Appalachia lacks the digital infrastructure it needs, holding back social and economic opportunities. To accelerate internet access, Connect Humanity and the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) have partnered to support 50 of Appalachia’s least-connected communities to plan for next-generation broadband networks.
Each community receives financial and technical support to create a holistic connectivity plan that meets the broadband goals of their community. Together, we identify these goals and create a roadmap that leads to new economic opportunities and healthier communities.
