Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey announces almost $200 million more available for broadband expansion

(January 30, 2023) Alabama’s efforts to extend access to broadband service to unserved areas received a boost Jan. 26 with the U.S. Treasury Department approval of the state’s plan for the Capital Projects Fund. The approval makes $191.8 million available for broadband expansion, Gov. Kay Ivey said.

The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) will administer the funds as part of a grant program to extend broadband service statewide.
