800 low income households in Kent County have received HP Chromebooks for personal use over the past year, far higher than the 500 originally expected. The Evening Enterprise reports the Kent County Local Management Board applied for the laptops through the Maryland Office of Statewide Broadband’s Connected Maryland grant. Statewide, the Department of Housing and Community Development and the Office of Statewide Broadband channeled $30 million to assist in digital equity and inclusion efforts, made possible through American Rescue Plan Act, state and local fiscal recovery funds.
