Franklin County has created a local technology planning team to help expand broadband internet in the county and the group should hold its first meeting very soon.
There has been a lot of Federal and State funding set aside for broadband, however the creation of a Local Technology Planning Teams is a necessary step so that Franklin County can tap into the funds.
The technology planning team includes one resident from each of the county’s five districts.
There could also be representatives named by the cities of Apalachicola and Carrabelle.
Mrs. Pat O’Connor from District 1 will serve as the chairperson of the planning team.
Earlier this year the Commission named chairman Ricky Jones to represent Franklin County on the ACCESS 67 Program which is designed to expand broadband to underserved communities across Florida.
ACCESS 67 is an initiative of the Florida Association of Counties to address the impacts of the lack of access to critical telecommunication and information technology resources in Florida communities.
Franklin County also appointed county coordinator Michael Moron to serve as a lead staff liaison.
Mister Moron was chosen since he is the closest thing the county has to an IT department.
