The grants are designed to fund broadband infrastructure in over half of Connecticut's communities, directly benefiting 88 cities and towns, including 26 on the Distressed list.
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont emphasized that the expansion of broadband infrastructure will strengthen communities and ensure they engage effectively in a digital world.
The funding, part of the American Rescue Plan Act, aims to broaden access to essential broadband services, essential for modern connectivity and community resilience.
With an original $40.8 million budget, the state anticipates a second funding round of $12.8 million, addressing the growing demand for improved broadband services.
