Barnstable Digital Equity Plan

- West Barnstable Community Building
- 2377 Meetinghouse Way, West Barnstable, MA 02668
The Town of Barnstable is working with the Cape Cod Commission to develop a municipal digital equity plan to assess the digital divide across the community and to identify opportunities to advance digital equity. The goal is to better understand the challenges that Barnstable households and businesses face in accessing the internet and to identify solutions that ensure all have access to the information technology needed to fully participate in our community.
Community participation is a critical component of this planning effort. Residents, businesses, and organizations are invited to attend an upcoming workshop to learn about the digital equity plan and contribute to the development of the plan through group exercises and conversations.
Discussion topics will include internet availability, affordability, and reliability; technology and devices necessary for civic, social, and economic life; and skills to participate safely, confidently, and effectively online.
Food and beverages will be provided.
This project is funded by the Massachusetts Broadband Institute at the MassTech Collaborative under the Municipal Digital Equity Planning Program. Funding was provided by Massachusetts ARPA State Fiscal Recovery Funds.
