Broadband Ready to ‘Grow Iowa’

High-speed Internet is the key to the future. That’s one of the main messages participants are taking home this week from this year’s Grow Iowa Day at the state capitol.

Connect Iowa Program Manager Amy Kuhlers was at the annual event to present the initiative and its mission of broadband access, adoption, and use to state legislators. The four-hour event was an informal opportunity to visit with state leaders on the importance of the Connect Iowa initiative and included a lunch with lawmakers and their staff.

Also on hand were economic development professionals from across the state. The event served as the perfect opportunity to discuss the launch of the Connected community certification program and Connect Iowa’s work with the Councils of Government (COGs) to promote economic development throughout all corners of the state.
