The Infrastructure Trailblazers series is a celebration of the state & local government leaders building transformative infrastructure projects in communities across the county. In this webinar, we’ll explore how historic federal broadband funding is - and sometimes is not - empowering broadband leaders to pursue transformative digital equity projects.

Linnea Jackson is the General Manager of the Hoopa Valley Public Utilities District, and oversees the tribe’s broadband expansion efforts. Peter Favorito is the Senior Digital Equity Manager within the City of Boston’s Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT), and helps make devices, internet access, and digital literacy training courses more affordable and reliable for residents. Brad Hoffman is Senior Manager for 5G Acceleration at Verizon, where he leads a team of architects to support private 5G and MEC network opportunities.

Tune in to hear the wins and challenges these leaders have faced and the innovative solutions they’ve adopted to expand broadband access, affordability and equity in their communities.
