The Board of Supervisors adopted Nevada County’s Broadband Strategy in October 2019. The plan was developed in partnership with Sierra Business Council, focusing on impactful strategies that prioritize actions within the County’s control, specifically local policy and planning, local funding mechanisms, and partnerships that will advance broadband coverage within Nevada County.  

Strategic broadband policy and planning, such as the County’s programmatic EIR, set Nevada County apart from other rural counties for new funding opportunities and position Nevada County to advance broadband connectivity for economic development, job creation, and bridging the digital divide. 

SBC and the Broadband Work Group plan to update this important strategic document in 2022.
