North Carolina Governor Josh Stein has announced over $31 million in broadband grants aimed at connecting 10,810 homes and businesses across 14 counties. Funded by $22.1 million from the American Rescue Plan and $9.6 million from providers, this effort is part of the Completing Access to Broadband (CAB) program. It aims to foster economic opportunity by ensuring all residents have access to high-speed internet. The CAB program involves collaboration with local counties to identify areas in need of improved broadband access and to support qualifying providers in meeting necessary speed standards.
These broadband projects will be funded with $22.1 million from the state's American Rescue Plan funds and an additional $9.6 million from the broadband providers.
According to the announcement, the North Carolina CAB program creates a partnership between the state's counties and the North Carolina Department of Information Technology.
