Background and Discussion:
On December 8, 2020, the Harris County Office of Broadband was created by resolution of the Commissioners Court to expand Broadband access. The County has made a concerted effort during the COVID pandemic to get digital devices and Wi-Fi hotspots to low-income students, and this initiative will continue the work to close the digital divide. This contract will support County Broadband disaster recovery management services to include strategic planning, outreach with key stakeholders, outcome identification, and applications for funding of future initiatives for the Office of Broadband.
