Mississippi's Office of Broadband Expansion and Accessibility (BEAM) approved twelve broadband infrastructure projects, projected to cost $32.5 million, funded by the U.S. Treasury Department's Capital Projects Fund. This initiative will expand internet service to around 9,000 households across various counties. In 2024, BEAM's allocated $100 million supported additional projects targeting broadband for approximately 42,000 homes. The expansion efforts are part of a larger commitment to improve digital accessibility across the state, encompassing public Wi-Fi initiatives and enhancements through federal grants, underscoring the push for statewide connectivity and digital equity.
Mississippi has made notable strides in broadband expansion, with a recent approval for 12 new infrastructure projects funded by the U.S. Treasury, reaching 9,000 households.
