The federal Digital Equity (DE) program and Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program may allocate over $1B in funding to Illinois to accelerate high-speed internet access statewide and ultimately help close the digital divide. In preparation for this, the Illinois Office of Broadband, in partnership with the University of Illinois System, recently launched a series of local coordination efforts to gather input on broadband-related needs and priorities from a range of stakeholders. The State will be hosting in-person listening sessions for residents, nonprofits, and local organizations in Danville on April 13. The Illinois Office of Broadband will also host small group meetings with government stakeholders before the public sessions to better understand the broadband needs, priorities and experiences of local governments agencies, including schools. Please see the details below.
