City officials on Friday release a draft of its Smarter City Task Force Report, part of a project officials say is designed to help Baltimore enhance its broadband connectivity.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake named a 27-member task force last year, with representatives from government, business and nonprofit sectors, to recommend ways to promote and expand broadband access. The task force worked with the city’s Department of Planning, Baltimore Development Corporation and the Mayor’s Office of Information Technology.
