[NYSDEN-LIST] state budget updates?

[Heidi Ziemer]

Hi all,

Has anyone received any news on the state budget and if digital inclusion funding is included?

I did a search and found the following:


 14  By chapter 53, section 1, of the laws of 2021:
    15    For services and expenses for a  grant  program  to  award  grants  to
    16      eligible   entities  to  establish  and  support  digital  inclusion
    17      programs. Such programs  shall  provide  economically  disadvantaged
    18      individuals  and  households in-person or remote supports including,
    19      but not limited  to,  access  to  affordable  and  robust  broadband
    20      service, internet-enabled devices, training, and technical support.
    21    Eligible  entities  shall  include  local  governments, not-for-profit
    22      organizations,  municipal  housing  authorities,  school  districts,
    23      boards  of  cooperative  education  services,  libraries and library
    24      systems and other community based organizations (23359) ............
