In a bid to bridge the digital divide, Carroll County is distributing HP Chromebook laptops at no cost to eligible residents, as part of an initiative with the Carroll Technology & Innovation Council. In an article published by Carroll County Government, interested individuals are advised to seek eligibility information and secure an appointment through the council's website.

The initiative is part of a larger scheme under the Maryland Connected Devices Program, which aims to ensure that Internet access reaches every Maryland household. This plan is backed by a grant from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development and Carroll County is stepping forward as an active participant in this state-sponsored endeavor.

For further inquiries or aid with booking an appointment, Carroll County directs residents to reach out to the Carroll Technology & Innovation Council via their email at [email protected]. Additional help can be sought from the county's Broadband Project Manager Jay Uebel at 410-386-2309 or through Maryland's Computer Helpline.
