broadband internet

Governor Kay Ivey has awarded nearly $42 million for “last-mile” high-speed internet projects in 23 Alabama counties. The latest Capital Projects Fund grants will cover 2,347 miles and provide broadband availability to more than 15,000 households, businesses and community anchor institutions that currently do not have access to high-speed internet.

Governor Kay Ivey is announcing she has awarded nearly $53.5 million to continue the expansion of high-speed internet service in Alabama. The grant will help develop the second phase of the state’s “middle-mile” broadband network deployment to 24 counties in the state.

Governor Kay Ivey has announced the awarding of nearly $150 million to continue the expansion of high-speed internet service to unserved areas across Alabama.

Alabamians looking to save on internet costs can do so through a new federal plan. The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a new plan created through the Federal Communication Commission to help eligible households save money on their internet costs.

Governor Kay Ivey has announced the name of Alabama's latest initiative to expand broadband access across the state. She also detailed several state programs that will provide homes and businesses the infrastructure they need to host high-speed internet.

More than 82,000 households, businesses and institutions have no option to subscribe for broadband access in the state. However, an upcoming boost from the U.S. Department of Commerce could change this reality.
