INDIANAPOLIS – Vigo County lawmakers are in full support of a new state law prioritizing broadband access for students, schools and rural clinics.
State Rep. Bob Heaton (R-Terre Haute) said rural communities throughout the state struggle to get quality access to broadband and high speed internet.
Currently, Indiana’s infrastructure plan includes the Next Level Connections Broadband Grant Program, which is available to supply reliable and affordable broadband service to areas of the state without good internet connection through the Office of Community and Rural Affairs. Under the legislation signed into law by Gov. Eric Holcomb, OCRA must make it a priority to deploy these grants to unserved areas most in need first.
