Another Indiana city has received designation as a Broadband Ready Community, which could lead to faster internet speeds for homes and businesses. The Indiana Broadband Office says the city of New Haven has received the certification.

Indiana developed the designation to send signals to the telecommunication industry that a community has taken steps to reduce barriers to broadband infrastructure investment.

“The city of New Haven is excited to be a designated Broadband Ready Community,” said Mayor Steve McMichael. “This move should help fill in the gaps of broadband service supporting the underserved areas.”

The certification was approved by the Indiana Broadband Office following the adoption of a Broadband Ready Community ordinance by the New Haven City Council.

Earlier this week, Huntington County became the 50^th community in Indiana to receive the designation.
