PARIS — The Maine West Regional Broadband Technology Plan and recommendations for improving internet connectivity in northern Oxford County will be presented from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, June 25, at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School on Route 26.

Mark Ouellette and Susan Corbett with Axiom Technologies will present the plan and answer questions.

Twenty-plus towns and unorganized territories in Maine West — Oxford Hills, River Valley and Bethel area — participated in the broadband planning process. The Technology Plan prepared by Axiom includes a specific plan for each town that participated in the Maine West Broadband Initiative.

The Technology Plan and accompanying Digital Inclusion and Regional Workforce Plan were funded with a broadband planning grant from the ConnectME Authority to the Northern Forest Center which coordinates the Maine West initiative. Community Concept Finance Corp. played a lead role coordinating community engagement across the region.

Maine West is a partnership of local and regional organizations dedicated to addressing systemic rural challenges and enhancing community well-being in western Maine through increased collaboration across the economic, education, health, and conservation sectors.

Axiom Technologies, headquartered in Machias, is a state and national leader in Digital Inclusion that drives Digital Literacy and Broadband Adoption for citizens and businesses. Axiom is also a telecommunications company that has been creating and developing solutions for rural broadband deployment since 2005.
