NLC is closely monitoring the federal shutdown and advocating for the continuation of government operations. Join hundreds of local leaders urging Congress to reopen the federal government using our letter template.»

Cities across the country are making commitments to bridging the digital divide in their communities. Much of this work requires making large-scale investments in broadband infrastructure to increase access and ensure affordability of service. There are many decisions for local leaders to consider when deciding how to pay for broadband infrastructure: grants, bonds, private investment, public-private partnerships, and beyond. Join NLC, local leaders and industry experts to hear about options for funding and financing to make broadband infrastructure investments in your community.
