In February 2018, the Rowan County Board of Commissioners determined it necessary to form a Broadband Task Force that would include key stakeholders to promote community involvement.  Goals of the task force will include:

• Promote broadband services countywide
• Address the needs of unserved and underserved residents
• Foster public-private innovation
• Enhance existing capabilities
• Support good governance

The task force is comprised of seven members representing Technical, Political, Management, and Citizenship.

• County Commissioner Leadership
• County IT Technical Advisory
• County Public Safety Official
• Rowan-Salisbury School System - IT Technical Advisory
• Rural Leadership (Coop-Ext, 4H, Rural Fire)
• Citizen Involvement from unserved areas

Members of the public are invited to attend the task force's first meeting, which will be held:

Wednesday, May 16, 2018
8:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Rowan Agricultural Center, Room A
2727 Old Concord Rd
Salisbury, NC  28146

The task force welcomes input on rural broadband needs for the citizens of Rowan County.
