Broadband Master Plan
The City of Lincoln is committed to providing fast, reliable internet access for all residents, businesses, and organizations in our community. In pursuit of this goal, we are launching the Broadband Master Plan, an initiative that will improve internet access and expand broadband infrastructure. As we transition toward broadband usage, we will be assessing current infrastructure, identifying gaps, and exploring opportunities for improvement.
Key Goals
- Reducing the Digital Divide: We want to ensure everyone in our community, including underserved and unserved areas, can access reliable and affordable internet.
- Improving Fiber Infrastructure: Enacting our plan will expand high-speed internet connections in commercial areas to foster economic development and job creation.
- Enhancing Public Services: Public facilities and businesses need access to high-speed internet access to operate efficiently.
- Supporting Community Growth: High-speed, reliable internet access is essential for Lincoln’s economic development, education, healthcare, and public safety.
How will the plan work?
The Broadband Master Plan will be completed in two phases:
- Phase 1: The internet services already available in Lincoln will be assessed to determine what the community needs and identify any gaps. The findings will help us plan strategic improvements.
- Phase 2: Based on what we establish in Phase 1, we will begin putting recommendations into action. This includes securing grants, finalizing policies, and developing public-private partnerships for long-term success.
The plan also involves close collaboration with residents and businesses to make sure that the city's needs are met. Focus groups and surveys will be conducted to gather feedback and inform the final plan.
