June 27, 2024 – Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey announced a $53.3 million grant through the Alabama Anchor Institution Middle-Mile Program for expanding middle mile builds in the state on Tuesday. 

The grant was awarded to Alabama Fiber Network, a coalition of electric cooperatives, to support the second phase of the state’s middle-mile broadband network. “This grant phase is another giant step in the long, but attainable process of providing high-speed internet to every corner of the state,” said ADECA Director Kenneth Boswell.
