Structure and Resources Overview <br />The Office of Broadband encourages counties to partner on a regional level with <br />neighboring counties, their Rural Area of Opportunity, or another regional <br />organization for their Local Technology Planning Team. <br />The focus of the Local Technology Planning Team is to advance broadband service <br />adoption and infrastructure deployment within each county or region. <br />The first task of the Local Technology Planning Team leader, typically the county <br />administrator/manager or their selected designee, is to ensure the membership of the <br />planning team represents local stakeholders in broadband expansion. By November 30, <br />2021, the Department requests that each leader for the Local Technology Planning <br />Team (County Administrator, County Manager, or a designee) submit their <br />recommended industry sector representatives and community leaders to the <br />Department to ensure that a variety of industry sectors are represented. Below is a <br />list of industry sectors that may be represented on each Local Technology Planning <br />Team, as noted in section 288.9961, Florida Statutes. The Office of Broadband requests <br />that team leaders recommend at least one representative from each industry sector listed <br />below to the county or region's Local Technology Planning Team. However, the team <br />leader tasked with recommending team members may recommend as many members <br />from each industry sector as necessary to meet the planning goals and objectives outlined <br />in this Broadband Planning Toolkit. In addition to the sectors noted in Florida Statutes, <br />team members can represent other industry sectors based on needs or characteristics of <br />the county or region. <br />By Industry Sector: <br />Industry Sector: <br />Qualifier/Purpose: <br />Examples: <br />Libraries <br />Education & Information <br />.
