Clark County residents asked to complete broadband survey

For the Hub City Times

CLARK COUNTY – A January 2021 University of Wisconsin-Madison Extension report shows that Clark County is among Wisconsin counties with the greatest lack of internet access. To help address the area’s digital divide, the Clark County Economic Development Corporation and Tourism Bureau is inviting residents and businesses within Clark County and its school districts to participate in a broadband survey.

The survey results will be used as part of a Clark County Broadband Study being prepared with the assistance of the West Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission.  The survey results may also be used as supporting documentation for grant requests to improve broadband service.  .

For those with internet access, visit the Economic Development Corporation’s website for more instructions and complete the survey at http://clarkcountywi.org.  A unique feature of the online survey is a speed test, so it is important that you complete the survey from your home or place of business.   For those without internet service, a printed survey form is available at local libraries as well as from the Economic Development Corporation.

Surveys should be completed by March 15.
