The Berrien County Broadband taskforce

>> Take the Survey <<

Now, more than ever, broadband Internet is an essential and crucial service to those who live, learn and work in Berrien County. In some areas of Berrien, high-speed Internet is not available. In order to bridge this digital divide, the Berrien County Broadband Internet Task Force needs to gain a better picture of which properties do not have Internet access in our area. For this, we need your help!   Please fill out the survey, even if you use the library for internet access.
