Missouri Pursues Sustainable Digital Opportunity Initiatives

The Missouri Office of Broadband Development, housed in the Department of Economic Development, released the state's draft Digital Opportunity Plan for public comment. The plan serves as a comprehensive guide to the actions that Missouri intends to pursue in order to achieve digital equity in the state. Through this plan and statewide efforts, the Missouri Office of Broadband Development is working to build a more equal and prosperous home for all Missourians regardless of demography and geography. Importantly, the state is being intentional about its efforts to make sure its planned digital opportunity initiatives are sustainable long after funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) runs out.
