Pa. to receive $6.6 million to expand internet accessibility across the state – By Sean Adams (Pennlive) / Dec 8, 2022
Pennsylvania will receive $6.6 million to help expand internet accessibility throughout the state, Governor Tom Wolf announced today.
“Pennsylvania’s lack of affordable, accessible broadband is one of the biggest challenges holding our economy back,” Wolf said in an announcement on Dec. 6. “This $6.6 million is the beginning of a generational change waiting for Pennsylvanians.”
The money has been allocated to the state from the federal Internet for All initiative, part of the Biden administration’s infrastructure spending and distributed by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The initiative will see $45 billion spent across the country, with a total of 100 million to be eventually spent in Pennsylvania.
