Houghton County Joins Connected Communities

Houghton County is the latest Michigan community to be certified as a “connected” community that has developed a broadband and technology plan to expand internet access, adoption and use.

It’s the 15th community in the state to earn the certification by Connect Michigan.

Houghton County joins Crawford, Wexford, Gladwin, Emmet, Marquette, Charlevoix, Antrim, St. Clair, Roscommon, Livingston, Mecosta, Clare, Otsego, and Ogemaw counties to earn the distinction.

Connect Michigan is a public-private partnership between the Michigan Public Service Commission and Connected Nation to work with local governments, businesses, and citizens in the goal of increasing broadband access, adoption and use.
