Stakeholders could collaborate to seek a “Backhaul” (connection) to connect a local community run mesh network in the to the Internet. Here is a possible source: “Ann Arbor SPARK was recently awarded more than $2 million in federal funding to build an underground fiber optic cable between downtown Ann Arbor and downtown Ypsilanti.” Is your community interested in better, faster, cheaper, Internet? Could the resulting improvement in #DigitalEquity make strides towards self-sufficiency in the areas of employment, education, and health/wellness?
