Washtenaw County Broadband Survey 
 

Sponsored by Rep. Gretchen Driskell, township supervisors, libraries, schools and other key representatives of townships in Washtenaw County are partnering with Connect Michigan to develop and execute a plan to bring better broadband (high speed internet) service to our communities.  

 

As a first step in this process, we are conducting a survey to determine the current availability and use of broadband service across Washtenaw County. 

 

You can access this survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/washtenawbroadband. This survey is designed only to gauge interest and quantify the demand. If you prefer a PDF copy of this survey you can download it here.
