The digital divide is a pressing issue, actively impacting people in the Central Indiana region.
In Central Indiana, nearly 10% of households don’t have internet access, according to figures from the Purdue Center for Regional Development. In the seven-county region, 3.2% of households with children have a computer but no internet. And 6.7% of senior households have a computer but no internet.
That’s where the Central Digital Equity Plan comes in. The plan is intended to guide digital equity in Central Indiana – Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Marion, Morgan and Putnam counties – for the next five years, including program development, resource inventorying and fundraising from local, state and federal sources.
