Accelerate Illinois Broadband Survey Available – Kaskaskia Region

As part of a regional effort to bring universal access to reliable, high-speed internet to Clinton, Fayette, Marion, and Washington Counties, the Clinton County Farm Bureau (CFB) is collaborating with community leaders in the Kaskaskia College region to launch a broadband internet survey to better understand the internet needs of residents.

Kaskaskia College, along with local leaders, are a part of the Illinois Accelerate Program through the Illinois Office of Broadband.  This program is a 14-week bootcamp designed to help local leaders create a plan to best utilize the groundbreaking influx of federal funds coming to close the digital divide.  Your participation in this survey will help inform how our team proceeds in the planning, and eventual grant process.  The Kaskaskia Region Accelerate Team thanks you for your time and effort in helping to expand broadband in our region. 

Take the survey by July 22^nd:   Accelerate Illinois Broadband Survey – Kaskaskia Region

All residents of Clinton, Fayette, Marion, and Washington Counties are eligible, but submissions should be limited to one per household and/or business.  The survey includes a speed test which should be taken on the household’s local Wi-Fi connection and not using cellular data or a hotspot. If a resident does not have access to a local Wi-Fi connection paper surveys are available at the Clinton CFB office, County Government offices, and local libraries.  Residents may also complete online surveys at any Kaskaskia College Education Center and area Public Libraries.  All submissions will also be automatically entered into a drawing for a special prize from local businesses.

We appreciate your participation in the survey to help improve internet access in Clinton County.  Feel free to spread the word….. Tell your friends, families, and neighbors to take the survey!
