Event Recap

17 residents attended in-person and an additional 11 tuned in online.

Residents from various rural communities came to our statewide listening series event in Greenfield on Tuesday, Oct. 3rd. The presentation and discussions touched on various aspects of digital equity, including language barriers, affordability, and access to devices. We heard directly from residents about critical issues related to affordability and accessibility and learned a lot about the community.

Thank you to our partners such as Ted Harvey from Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG) and John W. Olver Transit Center for hosting us! We are grateful for all of those that assisted in our outreach efforts as well.
