INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Gov. Eric Holcomb announced this week that the Next Level Broadband program has awarded an additional $6.3 million in funding to bring the first round total to $28.4 million for 14 broadband expansion infrastructure projects across the state.
The total first-round funding will provide broadband infrastructure to more than 11,300 homes and commercial locations in 18 counties.
“In the 21st century, high quality, affordable broadband is essential to the success of Hoosiers and our state,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Economic development, the health of our citizens, and our quality of life will be directly impacted by expanding broadband to these unserved areas.”
Jackson County REMC is one of the applicants from the program. REMC is working on a project for approximately 1,050 unserved households and businesses.
