Comcast Announces Internet Essentials Community College Pilot Programs In Colorado And Illinois
Education and home Internet go hand in hand. And equalizing access to educational resources is one of the most important benefits of a home Internet connection. That’s precisely why we first offered Internet Essentials to low-income families with children from Head Start through 12th grade. Education, however, doesn’t just end after high school. So, today, I had the privilege of joining Colorado Lieutenant Governor and Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Higher Education Joe Garcia and President of the Colorado Community College System Nancy McCallin, Ph.D., to announce that Comcast is extending Internet Essentials, on a pilot basis, to low-income community college students across Colorado. We also announced an Internet Essentials low-income community college pilot program in Illinois, home to one of the largest community college systems in the nation. To be eligible, students must be receiving a Federal Pell Grant — the nation’s largest need-based grant program.

Adopting the Iron Belle Trail
Michigan is known as the trail state because of its 12,000 miles of recreational trails. The state kicks of Trails Week on Saturday, September 19. The celebration is special one this year with the opening of the newly developed Iron Belle Trail – a 2,000 mile state-wide looped trail, half of which is a hiking trail and the other half a cycling trail.

It’s also a special opening because TransCanada has committed to being the first corporate sponsor of the trail.
