Ogden now certified as a “Connected Community”

It’s commitment to increased access, adoption and use of broadband communication earned Ogden recognition as a Certified Connected Community.

Governor Terry Branstad, stakeholders in Ogden and Boone County, elected Senators and Representatives, and other community leaders joined Connect Iowa to recognize Ogden for becoming a certified Connected community and releasing its Technology Action Plan.

“It is clear the economy is changing, and to remain competitive, we must remain connected,” said Governor Branstad who presented a plaque to Broadband Committee members during the Ogden Legacy annual meeting Wednesday, Feb. 18.
