Metro Nashville officials want to measure the digital access and the lack thereof among Davidson County residents.
They are encouraging residents to take a survey designed to guide the city s efforts to bridge the digital divide gap in broadband access and exposure to technology from neighborhood to neighborhood.
Government officials are championing investments in broadband expansion. In Tennessee, state lawmakers passed a $42.6 billion budget that will pump $100 million into the effort. Federally, President Joe Biden unveiled an infrastructure proposal to invest $100 billion into building broadband that will reach all Americans.
The Metro survey is conducted by the city s Digital Inclusion and Access Taskforce, Vanderbilt Peabody and The Equity Alliance, a Nashville-based nonprofit advocacy group, according to a Wednesday news release. The survey is part of Metro s smart city plan Connected Nashville, a 76-person working group convened by former Nashville Mayo
