CONCORD — As Carroll County towns prepare to vote this town meeting season on creating a Broadband Communications District planning committee, the New Hampshire Senate has passed a bill designed to increase access to broadband internet. Prime Sponsor and Majority Leader Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) called SB 85 an important step, saying, “The pandemic has revealed that we need significantly more broadband access, especially for New Hampshire residents who are working from home, attending school on-line, participating in telehealth visits with their doctor or just trying to stay in touch with family and friends.” He added, “This legislation establishes a first-of-its-kind grant fund utilizing state and federal funds matched by cities and towns. This type of partnership is exactly what has been needed to significantly improve broadband to all Granite Staters.”
