The proposed project will support closing the digital equity gap and the development of a statewide digital equity plan. The proposed project includes the following activities to support plan development:

1. Solicit proposals through a competitive procurement process and issue contracts to support the development of the state digital equity plan.
2. Work directly with organizations and nonprofits to reach the covered populations identified.
3. Foster partnerships by holding frequent subgrantee roundtables and other engagement activities for the purpose of gathering information and discussing progress of each initiative.
4. Establish a digital equity planning coalition comprised of each subgrantee and potential other partners around the state.

The proposed project will result in the development of a robust state digital equity plan that will benefit the state of Texas and principally unserved and underserved covered populations statewide. The recipient plans to subaward funds for the purpose of outreach to covered populations and assessment of needs.
