2023 Ohio Broadband Accelerator Project

The BroadbandOhio Community Accelerator will be a collaborative effort by BroadbandOhio, Ohio State University Extension, Heartland Forward, and Benton Institute for Broadband & Society to help local governments throughout Ohio receive expert instruction and support as they prepare to leverage new dollars that will be made available by the State, as well as through the historic passage of the federal infrastructure program.

Our Vision
 To bring high-speed internet access to every Ohioan and build a best-in-class broadband network in Ohio.
