Connect My Louisiana 

Connect My Louisiana is a broadband Internet education and awareness initiative for Louisiana.

The four-year project consists of developing and disseminating educational content to show the benefits of adopting broadband technology in business, education, health care and other aspects of economic activity in Louisiana.

Connect My Louisiana is initially focused on 18 parishes where broadband is underused. The main activity will be providing consumers, business owners, local government representatives and many more public and private organizations with access to educational resources that promote greater broadband Internet adoption.

Parishes include: Allen, Avoyelles, Caldwell, Catahoula, Concordia, East Carroll, East Feliciana, Franklin, Jefferson Davis, LaSalle, Madison, Morehouse, Pointe Coupee, Richland, St. Helena, Tensas, Washington, and West Carroll.
