Texas has awarded Lyte Fiber LLC a total of $57.8 million to improve broadband access for 6,750 homes and businesses in Marion and Navarro counties. This funding, primarily from the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund and the Texas Broadband Infrastructure Fund via the BOOT II Program, demonstrates the state's commitment to enhancing digital connectivity. Lyte Fiber plans to invest an additional $11 million, deploying 900 miles of fiber infrastructure aimed at fostering economic growth and educational opportunities in rural areas. Greg Conte emphasizes the importance of broadband access for improving quality of life.
"This investment in broadband expansion is not solely about laying fiber; it's about supporting economic growth, educational opportunities, healthcare access, and an overall enhanced quality of life for Texans in rural and underserved areas."
"We are dedicated to ensuring that all Texans have access to the internet speeds necessary to succeed in today's digital landscape."
