President Joe Biden has announced an $82 million investment to connect an additional 16,000 homes, schools, libraries, businesses, and health care facilities to high-speed internet in North Carolina. This initiative is part of a broader effort to provide affordable, reliable high-speed internet across the United States by 2030, addressing the initial lack of access for 24 million Americans. The funding, which is part of the American Rescue Plan and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, aims to close the digital divide and is one of over 40,000 infrastructure projects announced nationwide. Louisiana, leading all other states, has been the first to benefit from federal dollars for broadband under these plans.
