A state project expanding into White County will increase opportunities to better the area’s broadband connectivity.
The county is now a Broadband Ready Community, as designated by the Indiana Broadband Office and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs to encourage such development. The program will reduce barriers to building the needed infrastructure in the county.
“What a high achievement for White County,” Earnie Holtrey, deputy director at the Indiana Broadband Office, said in a news release. “I can attest to the commitment and diligence White County leadership put into making this vision a reality.”
The certification was announced after the county adopted the program’s ordinances. It joins 86 other communities that are a part of the program.
