Center for Community Technology Solutions

Our federally-funded grant initiative has three goals:

1) To initially build high speed, high capacity fiber infrastructure to connect public community anchor institutions in four Wisconsin demonstration communities;

2) To help the demonstration communities maximize their use of broadband, which will increase demand for broadband services for business and residents, provided by third-party (aka private) providers; and

3) To bring lessons learned and resources developed to communities across the state.

There are a number of ways to become involved with this initiative. We welcome inquiries from:

• Vendors and contractors
• Community Anchor Institutions looking to connect to a network in their area
• Private (broadband) providers interested in connecting to the network
• Private (broadband) providers interested in promoting their services through educational partnerships
• Community-based organizations interested in partnering in training, outreach or becoming part of their local CAN
