Reliable internet isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Yet, many Michigan communities still face connectivity gaps, limiting economic growth, education, and healthcare access. With the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program, counties across Michigan are coming together to ensure their residents and businesses receive the high-speed internet they need. 

The BEAD Program provides a historic funding opportunity to bridge the digital divide, but success requires collaboration. Michigan Counties are forming regional partnerships, pooling resources, and creating broadband action plans to maximize their impact. By working together, they can secure funding and deploy the infrastructure needed to connect underserved communities.
