BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Connectivity is reaching rural communities in Vermont and New Hampshire thanks to federal cash.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration announced a program to help fund broadband rollout for areas that don’t have high-speed internet.
Vermont can access almost $5.3 million while New Hampshire has $4.9 million available to them.
More than $800 million is available federally through this initiative.
Vermont’s money will go towards educating people on how to use the internet safely, while New Hampshire will focus on making internet access more equitable in the state.
