Key Initiative: MICHIGAN HIGH-SPEED INTERNET OFFICE

On June 2, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed an Executive Directive to expand high-speed internet access for people in Michigan, creating the Michigan High-Speed Internet Office (MIHI). Its vision was simple - to ensure that "every home and business in Michigan will have access to an affordable, reliable high-speed internet connection that meets their needs." 

High-speed internet becoming more of a necessity than ever before in citizens' educational, professional and personal lives played a key factor in the creation of MIHI, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
