COVID-19 Response and Updates
Emergency Broadband Benefit: Internet access is no longer a "nice-to-have" - it is a "need to have" for so many in our community. The Emergency Broadband Benefit helps families and households struggling to afford internet service during the COVID-19 pandemic. You may be eligible for a discount on your monthly internet service, and/or a discount on internet-capable devices.
