Vermont towns can get free help in learning how to take full advantage of the Internet to create jobs, drive school innovation, provide social services, and increase civic involvement. Twelve communities are already seeing free benefits from the e-Vermont Community Broadband Project, which include consulting for businesses that want to grow their e-commerce, a digital forum to connect neighbors, computers for selected school classes, expanded access to the Internet at town libraries, and training in computer skills.
Twelve more communities statewide will be selected to participate, but local groups must apply no later than November 17 to be considered. The complete guidelines are now posted online at www.e4vt.org.
