Gov. Kemp Announces Additional Broadband Grants to Expand High-Speed Internet

Statement

Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced a second round of the Capital Projects Fund Grant Program (CPF) to expand high-speed internet service to unserved and underserved areas. The state expects to invest an additional $15 million through this round of broadband expansion, and the funding will be administered and deployed by the Office of Planning and Budget through a competitive grant process.

"Following the significant investments in high-speed internet expansion I've announced over the past year, I'm thankful additional CPF funding is available to help provide access to unserved communities," said Governor Kemp. "These grants will enable us to further close the digital divide in our state, connecting even more Georgians to opportunity. We've made great progress in recent years, and we won't rest on our laurels as we continue to make strategic broadband investments."
