Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott announced Monday that the city’s free, public Wi-Fi network will expand to reach recreation centers — like Middle Branch’s Fitness and Wellness Center, where the announcement was made — as part of larger plans to bridge the city’s digital divide.
Baltimore’s Wi-Fi network is set to expand to more neighborhoods and senior centers, CBS reported.
The recent expansion is part of a larger, citywide digital inclusion initiative, set to span from 2024 to 2029. Incorporating reliable, high-speed internet is one of the four goals in the plan to help residents and businesses access technology and information on proper use.
