""Wi-Fi accessibility and convenience in these public places will enhance the experience for anyone visiting these locations," said Jeff Lopez, OBAE's director. "This Wi-Fi access will help close the state's digital divide and help travelers, remote workers, and others receive internet service in public places.""
""This investment in public Wi-Fi is a vital step toward expanding digital inclusion across New Mexico, particularly at the culturally significant sites that connect communities to our shared heritage," said DCA Cabinet Secretary Debra Garcia y Griego. "By improving access to reliable high-speed internet, we are not only enhancing educational opportunities and enriching visitor experiences, but also providing an additional service by making broadband more accessible for the communities in which we are privileged to work.""
New Mexico's Department of Cultural Affairs received a $460,000 grant from the Office of Broadband Access and Expansion to provide free public Wi-Fi at 12 historic sites and museums. The project will establish 213 new access points, enhancing visitor experiences and closing the digital divide. The initiative aims to improve digital inclusion, educational opportunities, and broadband accessibility in culturally significant locations across the state, with completion expected by June 30, 2027.
