The Indiana Broadband Office has designated the town of Knightstown as an official Broadband Ready Community. The program was created to encourage broadband development throughout the state.
The certification was approved by the Indiana Broadband Office following the Knightstown Town Council’s adoption of a Broadband Ready Community ordinance.
“Our Hoosier communities are celebrated for taking the necessary steps to obtain high-speed and reliable internet service for their citizens and businesses. The Town of Knightstown is recognized as a community that is getting things done. We applaud your efforts on earning the Broadband Ready Community certification,” said Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch.
Knightstown Town Council President Sarah Ward says the town has a unified vision for providing broadband to the community.
“Broadband access provides far reaching opportunity for improving the overall well-being of citizens as well as promotes economic development as a destination on the National Road,” said Knightstown Town Council President Sarah Ward. “We want to do our part in lessening the broadband gap in the immediate area and are proud to become the first Certified Broadband Ready Community in Henry County.”
Knightstown joins Tipton County, Pulaski County and others, in receiving the designation.
