Funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania further ensures local communities have access to high-speed Internet
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Beaver County, Pennsylvania – Investments awarded by the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority (PBDA) are ensuring Beaver County becomes one of the first counties in the nation to have complete access to high-speed Internet. The achievement will be made possible through the Capital Projects Fund’s (CPF) Broadband Infrastructure Program (BIP) grants enabling Comcast, a leading telecommunications company, to reach approximately 620 residents in 35 municipalities – all of whom were previously without access to Internet at qualifying broadband speeds. This investment complements existing programs such as Connect Beaver County Broadband Program’s Early Action Projects, performed by Armstrong and Kinetic in the northwest and southeast areas of the County, respectively, and underway by Verizon.
“The Connect Beaver County Broadband Program administrators have worked with multiple Internet service providers, and partners in federal and state government, to achieve our goal of having high-speed Internet available to everyone in Beaver County,” said Commissioner Dan Camp.
