ÉTOUFFÉE
Enhancing Technological Opportunity for YoU and your Family to Foster Education and Empowerment (ÉTOUFFÉE).
Louisiana is a state rich in natural resources and potential. The overall goal of the ÉTOUFFÉE plan is to increase digital access and opportunity across the digital divide by expanding broadband infrastructure, improving affordability, providing access to appropriate devices, and the acquisition of digital literacy and skills to achieve transformational impact for all Louisianians to be able to reach their full potential.
