Governor Joe Lombardo and the Governor’s Office of Science, Innovation and Technology (OSIT) announce the start of the High Speed Nevada Connectivity Outreach and Engagement Tour.
The High Speed Nevada Initiative is a statewide effort to ensure that all residents have equal access to reliable broadband internet service, affordable technology, digital skills training, and cybersecurity awareness.
“Our goal is for every Nevadan to have access to a high-speed internet connection that is affordable, reliable and scalable,” said Governor Lombardo. “As we develop our plans, we want to ensure that all communities have a chance to add their voice.”
The Tour kicks off the week of April 3. Throughout the month of April, staff from OSIT will visit every county in Nevada, actively seeking input from residents and stakeholders alike on their broadband and digital equity needs. The input OSIT receives during the Tour will shape the State’s investments in infrastructure and digital equity over the next four years.
“Community engagement is essential to our work,” said OSIT Director Brian Mitchell. “We want all aspects of our plans to be informed by the experiences of Nevadans.”
Nevadans will have a variety of ways to learn about the opportunity and contribute their experiences and opinions to the State’s broadband planning process. OSIT plans to hold multiple public community open houses in each county. Stakeholders can also attend virtual meetings or contribute anonymously to a public survey.
