The projects would see about 31,750 Simcoe County residents see improvements in their internet services and would collectively service about 500 kilometres of roadway in the region
Simcoe County will be receiving more than $41 million to expand broadband internet services for almost 13,000 households and businesses in the region that have limited to no connectivity.
The funding will be provided by Southwestern Integrated Fibre Technology (SWIFT) to support six fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) projects across Simcoe County.
"As a region with a diverse range of rural and urban communities, access to reliable, high-speed connectivity is essential, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, as many of our businesses and residents are adapting to a new virtual environment," Simcoe County Warden George Cornell said in a statement.
