 On Monday, May 16, at 11 am, Mayor Muriel Bowser will be joined by Chief Technology Officer Lindsey Parker and broadband provider WeLink to kick off Infrastructure Week by announcing a new initiative to bring high-speed, low- or no-cost internet to all DC residents.

Last week, the Biden Administration announced a commitment from 20 internet providers to lower costs and increase speed for millions of American families. This initiative will build on those efforts.

Throughout Infrastructure Week, Mayor Bowser will highlight investments in infrastructure and initiatives focused on building a more connected, resilient, and equitable DC. In March, Mayor Bowser announced the creation of the DC Build Back Better Infrastructure Task Force, which will advise on priority projects to be funded through President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The Task Force is made up of experts from District agencies and external partners who will ensure the District’s effectiveness in securing and deploying federal dollars while creating projects that will impact residents across the District and generations of Washingtonians to come.
