A non-profit group is unveiling a newly completed map of broadband availability throughout the state.

The map is being unveiled Friday afternoon by Connect Minnesota, a non-profit organization designated by the state to create the detailed map as mandated by the federal government. The map will show availability of high-speed internet down to street level, highlighting areas that are currently underserved or not served at all.

The aim is to help government officials, broadband providers and consumers with the tools to plan for expansion.

Money for the State Broadband Data and Development Program came as part of last year's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. It produced $240 million to produce broadband maps in all 50 states.
