Indiana Lawmakers Trying to Make Broadband Internet More Accessible in Rural Areas
STATEWIDE–Governor Holcomb has already sent out more than $79 million to 41 counties across Indiana as funding to be used for high-speed broadband internet. More money is supposed to be used too.
During Holcomb’s State of the State Address Tuesday, he announced that he is seeking an additional $100 million for his Next Level Broadband Grant Program.
“The additional $100 million I’m requesting will enable us to continue making progress, bringing improved speed to all corners of our state for all Hoosiers,” said Holcomb.
Representative Lehman represents District 79, which encompasses all of Adams County as well as portions of Allen and Wells counties. Lehman says his experience in rural areas has allowed him to see the need for broadband.
