Broadband Learning Sessions:
Take Control of Your Connectivity Future

One of the steps in developing the LinkMuskegon connectivity strategies is to begin a dialogue. On behalf of Muskegon County, Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP and Broadband Development 3 will hold broadband learning sessions. The purpose of these sessions is to provide information and perspectives regarding broadband services, and to facilitate an open, interactive discussion about business and residential needs for connectivity, issues with current offerings, and affordability of existing services. All learning sessions are free and open to the public, and we encourage all residents, government agencies, educational institutions, non-profit organizations and businesses to attend.

The Muskegon County broadband learning sessions will be held on:
