WHEREAS,the City of Orono has determined that increasing broadband and
internet services to residents is a top priority in 2021 and beyond; and

neighboring City Council's by seeking support from elected representatives that serve our
communities at the county and state level of government for directing additional DEED
grant dollars for our broadband needs; and

be over looked just because of our geographical location, as our communities are not that

that we support the collaborative efforts in seeking additional support and funding for
