More broadband expansion is coming to 16 eastern and southern Kentucky counties. The project will serve residents in counties like Bell, Lincoln, Garrard, and Letcher.
The $30.7 million project, funded primarily with federal dollars along with provider matching money, will expand broadband access to 33,000 households. Center for Rural Development President Lonnie Lawson said this means growth in the local middle mile of broadband. He said the increased use of the internet during the pandemic set the stage for more remote work.
