Baton Rouge, La. – The Southern University Ag Center (SU Ag Center), in partnership with the Capital Region Planning Commission, the University of Louisiana Lafayette’s Kathleen Babineaux Blanco Public Policy Center, the Louisiana Office of Broadband Development and Connectivity, and the Louisiana Board of Regents, will host a regional meeting series to allow stakeholders an opportunity to provide feedback on the development of Louisiana’s Statewide Digital Equity Plan.
The meeting will be held at 10 a.m. on November 1st and 6 p.m. on November 2nd at the SU Ag Center’s Multipurpose Building, 14600 Scenic Hwy, Baton Rouge, LA, 70807.
The series, which is a part of a statewide tour, will give residents of the Capital Area an opportunity to provide feedback on important issues surrounding digital equity within this region and our state. The feedback provided will inform the Statewide Digital Equity Plan which aims to close the gap between those with affordable access, skills, and support to effectively engage online and those who do not.
