The Executive Office of the Mayor is pleased to announce the launch of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), a groundbreaking initiative aimed at ensuring that all residents have access to the digital resources they need to thrive in today's interconnected world. In partnership with local businesses and organizations, this program offers eligible residents the opportunity to receive free tablets, bridging the digital divide and promoting digital inclusion within our community.
