RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) â Broadband, K-12 and higher education, local infrastructure and targeted businesses would be among the greatest beneficiaries in Gov. Roy Cooper s proposals unveiled Wednesday on how to spend $5.7 billion in federal COVID-19 aid recently approved by Congress.
âThis pandemic has brought us a once-in-a-generation challenge. These funds have brought us a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Letâs use them to make transformational change for our state,â Cooper said at a news conference. âWe re building a bridge from response to recovery.
Cooper proposed to state legislators that $1.2 billion of North Carolinaâs share of American Rescue Plan funds go toward fiber installation grants and other broadband projects where internet remains slow. The goal is to raise the percentage of households with high-speed internet from 73% to 80% in 2025, reaching to 100% of families with children, according to Cooper s written plan.
