Managing Indiana's Water Resources

IBO's Broadband Expansion Efforts and How YOU Can Help

Through Round 1 of the BEAD program, the Indiana Broadband Office has been able to provide over 90,000 locations, or about 70% of eligible locations, with access to high-speed internet. 

After receiving feedback from internet service providers who participated in Round 1, IBO is now completing the development of the Round 2 project. 

IBO's goal for Round 2 is to make the broadband expansion process more efficient, and to do that, they are asking for YOUR help.

IBO has the opportunity to remediate locations that are not eligible to be serviced by broadband. For example, IBO found a barn that does not need broadband service but is still considered an eligible Broadband Service Location (BSL) on the Indiana map.

Here is how you can help: If you are aware of a BSL in your territory that is not able to be serviced, contact IBO and let them know! Check for BSLs using the map linked here.

To contact IBO, send an email to [email protected] and they will provide you with the next steps.

Visit Your County Fair

As the summer season arrives, counties across Indiana will soon begin holding a much-loved tradition - county fairs.

These fairs allow 4-H exhibitors to showcase the projects they have worked on in recent months, opportunities for locals to support charitable organizations and spotlights on our local businesses.
