One of the keys to unlocking economic opportunity in northern Arizona is increasing access to technology in underserved areas of our region. On Wednesday, May 10, the Northern Arizona Council of Governments’ Broadband Working Group will continue its multi-year mission to bring more high-speed internet to a vast Economic Development District that includes four counties (Coconino, Apache, Navajo, and Yavapai) and the lands of nine federally recognized Indigenous tribes.
On Thursday, May 11, you can meet with your regional economic development professionals at Mother Road Brewing Co. from 4 – 6 pm. Bring your questions and enjoy a potent potable at this informal (but informative) gathering.
