GREENFIELD, MA) — The City of Greenfield has published the first draft of its municipal Digital Equity Plan. Now, city officials are welcoming final comments from the public before the plan is submitted to the state for approval.
Greenfield’s Digital Equity Plan will help guide municipal decision-making and investments related to increasing access, adoption and usage of the internet for several groups within in the city, including seniors, low-income populations and households where English is not the primary language.
The plan will also help prepare the city to submit grant proposals to existing or forthcoming state or federal programs to support digital equity activities. The ultimate goal is to lay the groundwork for long-term investments to achieve digital equity for all in Greenfield.
Residents can view the plan at the city’s website.
