Survey Introduction

PURPOSE
This survey is part of Rowan County’s Broadband Initiative to determine the internet/broadband needs for all residents of Rowan County.  The primary goal is to identify underserved areas and work to attract internet service providers offering expanded service and higher speed options.

TERMS OF USE AND PRIVACY STATEMENT
By participating in this survey, you are agreeing that Rowan County and the NC Broadband Infrastructure Office may seek to contact you to follow up on your service needs.  Results will be:
  1. mapped to show unmet needs or demand for high speed internet
  2. shared with relevant broadband service providers or community planners in an effort to identify service solutions.
Therefore, your address in the beginning demographic section is critical to identifying underserved areas. Users submitting data on this survey can choose to NOT allow their location to be mapped.  If mapped for public display, specific addresses will be buffered to ensure anonymous addresses. 

We invite all Rowan County residents to complete this survey by September 7, 2018.  For more information on this survey, please call Rowan County IT at 704-216-8114.  Thank you in advance for your time.
