The state Public Service Commission will launch $100 million in broadband grant funding in the next two weeks from the federal American Rescue Plan Act, Gov. Tony Evers said Tuesday.
It s the initial batch of federal funds to be allocated for expanding high-speed internet service across the state, according to the governor, and it s more than the state has spent on broadband expansion grants since 2013.
Evers said he s also urged the Legislature to allocate about an additional $200 million for broadband access and assistance to low-income households struggling with their internet bills. This isn t a question of providing federal or state funding for broadband. We must do both to ensure folks can get connected, the governor said in a news release.
