INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs announced on Wednesday that the fourth round of the Indiana Connectivity Program awarded $935,174 to expand broadband access to 256 addresses across 31 counties.
Locally, addresses in Jennings County received $9600 in funding to help residents and business owners obtain access to high-speed, quality broadband.
The Indiana Connectivity Program acts as a tool to connect residents and businesses that lack internet service with internet service providers and assist in the expense of extending broadband to unserved and underserved areas.
Of the 256 addresses funded, there are 237 households and 19 businesses. Internet providers carrying out the projects are matching over $2.4 million for a total investment of over $3.4 million.
