Public wifi comes to Portland park, Main Street

Free public wi-fi is now available at Portland’s Meadowbrook Park and Main Street Portland through a partnership between the city, Sumner County, and the Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation. The initiative is being funded through a Broadband Ready Communities grant from the Tennessee Department of Economic & Community Development and delivered by Cumberland Connect. The project will provide reliable internet access for residents, visitors, and local businesses and will also include a digital literacy training component for Portland residents. Community members will be provided digital skills through the Tennessee College of Applied Technology.
