@DavidsonNTIA Thanks for the mention! Greatly appreciate working with your team! Almost done with Vol.2

I signed Louisiana's first-in-the-nation #InternetForAll Initial Proposal, Vol. 1 this week. Congrats to @veneethi and his team at #ConnectLA for making it happen. Now ready to get Volume 2. mailchi.mp/la/vol-1-initi…

@DavidsonNTIA @veneeth Thanks for the shoutout @DavidsonNTIA and your teams support! Get ready for Volume 2!

@brianhaldane @LouisianaGov We are on track to eliminating the digital divide by 2029 if not sooner. More then 200,000 Households in Louisiana do not have access to high speed affordable and reliable internet.

“There is no state in the country outperforming Louisiana when it comes to expanding high speed internet service.” - @LouisianaGov gives @VeneethI some high praise during his address at The Rotary Club.

(2/2) To see the effect high-speed internet can have on small businesses like these, check out this story written by our former intern Sydney McGovern. connect.la.gov/news/blog-post…

(1/2) It's the end of #NationalSmallBusinessWeek, and ConnectLA is celebrating the 4,500 small businesses being connected to high-speed internet in the state because of our GUMBO grant program. We applaud these businesses for the work/impact they provide….
