We’ve got something exciting to share. Our office is temporarily closed for RENOVATIONS. We are very excited for a much-needed facelift for the downstairs of our building. We will keep you posted on the progress here, but renovations are estimated to take approximately 3 months to complete. During the renovations, all staff will be working remotely so we don’t impede the construction process, so please feel free to reach out via phone or email.

The Connecting All Missourians Listening Session was held May 24th at the Mozingo Event Center, Maryville, Missouri.  Over the past year, the Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments in collaboration with the Office of Broadband Development, the University of Missouri Extension, and local broadband providers have made huge strides in increasing broadband access throughout northwest Missouri with fiber deployment, digital literacy, and equity projects.

This listening session presented updates on the planning that has happened over the past year and provided feedback on the State of Missouri’s plans that will be used to distribute funding through the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) and Digital Equity Act (DEA) program later this year. 

To guide the state’s internet expansion and training efforts, the Missouri Office of Broadband Development and University of Missouri Extension are conducting a brief online survey on household internet access and use. The anonymous survey, which takes about six minutes to complete, is at muext.us/MissouriInternetSurvey(opens in new window).

Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments in partnership with the Office of Broadband Development and the University of Missouri system hosted a Connecting All Missourians regional listening session on Thursday, October 27th. For information, please click this link: BROADBAND

Student teams from across the University of Missouri System competed to develop plans for supplying access to affordable high-speed internet to residents and businesses in northwest Missouri. They used an approach outlined in the UM System Broadband Initiative’s Digitally Connected Community Guide to develop potential plans for workable public-private partnership (P3) models. The teams presented their plans on Saturday, August 20, at Mozingo Event Center near Maryville, MO. The event also included presentations from regional and state broadband leaders. The presentation was live streamed and a recording in available HERE.

An analysis showing how expansion and adoption of internet services in three northwestern Missouri counties could help grow their economies in the decade ahead was prepared as part of MU Extension’s collaboration with local economic developers and the Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments. A previous study included Nodaway County. Use this link to view more about the economic impact study. The economic benefit studies are available by scanning the code below or on our Economic Development page.
