Town officials in Great Barrington, Massachusetts are urging residents to participate in the Digital Equity Survey developed by the Massachusetts Broadband Institute (MBI). The survey is available until August 31.

By sharing the survey with friends, colleagues, and family, residents can contribute to the state’s investment in improving connectivity for all residents of Massachusetts. The goal is to increase access to education, healthcare, civic engagement, economic opportunities, and more.

Chris Rembold, the assistant town manager and director of planning/community development, emphasized the importance of understanding the connectivity needs in the community. Rembold stated, “We hope everyone will please take a few minutes to complete this survey.”

The survey conducted by MBI will help develop a comprehensive Digital Equity Plan for the state. It aims to ensure that all Massachusetts residents can fully experience the opportunities that come from having access and skills to use computers and the internet in their everyday lives. Therefore, residents’ responses to the survey are critical as they will shape the state’s plans.

Locally, the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission will be working on Digital Equity Planning in 13 Berkshire County communities. This is part of the state’s effort to ensure equitable access and affordability of broadband for residents who need it.

Participating in the Digital Equity Survey is an opportunity for residents in Great Barrington to have their voices heard and contribute to improving internet access and digital equity.
