Kent County Is Asking Residents and Businesses to Participate in High-Speed Internet Access and Speed Survey
Kent County is asking residents and businesses to take a 15-question survey about internet service at their households and locations. The survey asks whether high-speed ("broadband") internet service is available at a given address, and if so, at what speed and cost.
Over the past two years, the need for high-speed internet has become more evident, with residents teleworking, students attending school online, and patients meeting doctors virtually. We understand that many of you experience frustration over internet connectivity and, in some areas, high-speed Internet is unreliable or not available.
As a result, we are committed to surveying residents and businesses to identify gaps in Internet service. To accomplish this, we partnered with Merit Network to develop a survey aimed at reaching all properties in Kent County. The goal is to gain a clearer picture of connectivity in the County and support planning and implementation of high-speed internet expansion efforts and secure federal and state dollars for internet.
Visit MichiganMoonshot.org/Kent to complete the brief survey and to learn more about this project. Paper surveys are available upon request in in English and Spanish by calling (616) 632-6512. The survey is also being translated into other languages.
Thank you in advance for assisting with our high-speed internet planning and expansion efforts.
