Significant investments are being made to expand broadband technology to rural communities across Middle Tennessee. How can cities and counties leverage these investments to further their economic development efforts and create a thriving community.

• What are the available funding opportunities?

• What collaborations are being fostered to ensure maximum benefit?

• What can communities do to leverage broadband (and broadband funding) to support city/county economic development efforts and diversify their economies?
