The Door County Economic Development Corporation is expanding its leadership role in bringing about the creation of a plan for improving broadband in Door County. Jim Schuessler, Executive Director of the county economic development agency, says reliable and fast broadband is a foundational requirement, not a luxury. Schuessler says the agency will provide each municipality with a template to survey its citizens and businesses to ask about existing access and the desire for better access. These surveys may be distributed on election day in November and through tax bills in December. The Door County Economic Development Corporation will use the survey to focus the efforts of the technology council, which, for 17 years, has focused its attention on determining the needs and solutions needed to enhance the economy of Door County.
