Maryland Seeks Applications for $2M in Digital Equity Grants

The Maryland broadband office opened applications for $2 million in digital equity awards for use in expanding computer labs and centers, the Department of Housing and Community Development said Monday. The application window will close Nov. 29. “Ensuring high-speed internet access for all takes more than just building network infrastructure and connecting homes and businesses,” Department Secretary Jake Day said. “It requires expanding access to connected devices and educating people to use them effectively.”
