Connected Communities

Community-Driven Solutions

Connected communities are towns, main streets, neighborhoods, and cities that use data and technology-driven innovations to offer new and improved services to people and businesses. Through resources and funding opportunities, we are helping communities within the Valley leverage tech- and data-driven solutions to improve residents’ lives, deliver environmental benefits and scale economic opportunities.
