Governor Andy Beshear took a break from co-hosting the annual Appalachian Regional Commission meeting in Ashland Monday to make nearly $4 million dollars' worth of grant announcements in Greenup County. According to an administration news release, $3.3 million of that will go towards extending broadband Internet to homes and businesses. State Senator Robin Webb had this to say:
“When we as a General Assembly appropriate these funds, it showed great faith in the executive branch that it would be done well. And if it's based on need, Rocky, you know, we need it here and I said that broadband investment literally brought me to tears.”
