[Darci Hanning]

Greetings,

I'm passing along this information as it may be of interest to those of you in rural areas:

Oregon USDA Broadband Workshops
These are free events and open to the public, but space is limited. Please register before August 11, 2019.
*         August 28, 2019, in Independence-Registration<http://development.oregon4biz.com/acton/ct/14786/s-031c-1907/Bct/q-0b57/l-0007:2827/ct2_0/1?sid=TV2%3A4q4JqURza>
*         August 29, 2019, in Madras-Registration<http://development.oregon4biz.com/acton/ct/14786/s-031c-1907/Bct/q-0b57/l-0007:2827/ct3_0/1?sid=TV2%3A4q4JqURza>
The U.S. Department of Agriculture and Business Oregon are sponsoring two one-day workshops designed to inform and engage civic leaders, businesses, and community champions. The workshops will feature:

*         local experts and provide a discussion of broadband applications that will reshape our communities and help drive rural prosperity,

*         an overview of relevant USDA Rural Development grant and loan programs, and

*         an interactive session to support local teams as they evaluate and develop local broadband projects.
Community broadband champions and those interested in improving rural broadband infrastructure, including education, library, healthcare, telecom, and internet representatives, will gain valuable information from these workshops.
Cheers,
