Governor Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority Executive Director Brandon Carson will join local leaders in Centre County to announce major investments in expanding broadband internet access across 50 counties throughout the Commonwealth.
Since taking office, the Shapiro administration has connected hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians to high-speed internet, decreasing the number of locations lacking connectivity from 330,000 to 130,000, a 60% decrease overall. These funds will advance the administration's commitment to ensuring Pennsylvanians have access to affordable, high-speed internet so they can go to school, start and grow businesses, and access telemedicine no matter where they live.
