9/18/13 - Improved broadband access in Livingston County is just one of the goals to be announced tomorrow with the release of a new technology action plan. The annual Livingston County Economic Development meeting will be held Thursday at Cleary University, during which the Livingston County Technology Action Plan will be released, certifying the county as a âConnectedâ community. The plan resulted from an assessment undertaken by Connect Michigan and the Livingston County Broadband Committee, which has more than two dozen members including local officials and representatives of various nonprofit groups. The action plan contains specific recommendations of projects to expand broadband access, increase digital literacy, build awareness for the benefits of broadband, assist businesses with websites and social media, and increase the availability of online public services. One of those helping to make the announcement is Michigan Public Service Commission member Sally Talberg, a Howell high school graduate. Connect Michigan says Livingston County is the 5th community on the state to receive the âConnectedâ designation and 10th nationwide. (JK)
