The State of Kansas Department of Commerce was awarded a $8,229,246.17 Project Grant from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) under the State Digital Equity Planning and Capacity Grant Program (CFDA 11.032). The purpose of this award is to implement the Kansas Digital Equity Plan, which was developed under a previous State Digital Equity Planning Grant. Key activities to be performed under this Project Grant include: establishing a digital navigator expansion program, building a statewide device distribution network, creating a public-private affordability fund, and developing a digital equity mapping and dashboard tool. The expected outcomes include increased broadband access, enhanced digital literacy, improved access to online resources for individuals with disabilities, aging populations, and veterans. The Department of Commerce plans to subaward funds to implement these digital equity initiatives across the state of Kansas.
