Central Sierra Broadband Conference
The Central Sierra Broadband Conference will bring together a coalition of state partners, county leadership, businesses and broadband stakeholders from five-counties to discuss the absolute necessity of last mile investment in our rural region. The conference will be an opportunity to expand on Broadband for All and hear from leaders in the Central Sierra on how we deal with the realities of being a rural, mountainous community with difficult terrain for broadband expansion.
Prior to the keynote luncheon, Amador, Alpine, Calaveras, Tuolumne and Mariposa County Supervisors, CAOs, and Economic Development Directors will meet to develop Broadband General Plan Amendments, Dig Once Policies and Minimum Standards to provide a consistent and desired path our Central Sierra region requests from providers. The remainder of the conference will be dedicated to creating action by holding breakout sessions, a panel on alternative approaches, a presentation on minimum standards concepts and the future of 5G in rural regions.
The Central Sierra Broadband Conference will show the support in our county for expanding broadband access to the last mile and move the needle closer to additional investments into our region.
