Providing Indiana With Reliable Broadband

Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs today announced 708 addresses will gain access to high-speed broadband as a result of $3,327,496 awarded in the tenth round of the Indiana Connectivity Program.

The Indiana Connectivity Program helps Hoosier residents and business owners, often in rural areas, obtain access to reliable broadband by assisting internet providers with the expense of extending its services to underserved locations of Indiana.

“Indiana has taken another big step in providing a reliable broadband connection to all Hoosiers,” said Lt. Gov. Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “This investment will greatly improve quality of life across the state, especially in our rural communities.”

Of the 708 addresses funded in the Indiana Connectivity Program’s tenth round, 688 are households and 20 are businesses. Internet providers carrying out the projects are matching  $13,706,591 for a total investment of $17,034,087. To find a list of providers granted funding, visit in.gov/ocra/broadband/icp.
