Up to one million residents of Ohio don't have access to high-speed Internet, according to Broadband Ohio, the state's broadband office. 

Governor Mike DeWine created BroadbandOhio in March 2020 to change that. 

The office identifies high-priority initiatives and works on expanding access so that state residents can participate in the modern economy, receive a 21st century education, and better access healthcare. 

BroadbandOhio is housed within the Ohio Department of Development.
