(March 19, 2024) Alabama’s ongoing initiative to expand broadband access across the state has now seen more than $501 million in grants awarded to internet service providers, an investment that is projected to expand access to high-speed internet to almost 127,000 households and institutions.
The latest figures on Alabama’s broadband expansion project, dubbed ‘Be Linked Alabama’ by Gov. Kay Ivey during its launch last year, were shared Monday during a meeting of the Alabama Digital Expansion Authority.
“You can see that we’re making a lot of progress,” said Maureen Neighbors, division chief for the Digital Expansion Authority.
