Broadband Connectivity for business, residential and communities is a key project the Chamber works to “move the needle” on. With our area’s unique geographic location and topography, service delivery is challenging but of growing economic importance. Chamber efforts include engagement with organizations such as the Southwestern Commission, Jackson County officials, corporate providers and area businesses, communities and residents looking to ensure prosperity and maintain a high quality of life in our mountain communities through connectivity. Outreach to explore new technologies for affordable broadband access is ongoing.
