The city of Springfield has received a financial boost in its efforts to bring affordable high-speed internet access to more of its residents.
The Massachusetts Broadband Institute has awarded the city $102,000.
These funds will support efforts by the city administration, an ad-hoc City Council Committee, and the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission to produce a digital equity plan for Springfield.
WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Springfield City Council President Jesse Lederman.
