Oct. 15, 2024 - Connecticut will provide $28 million in broadband funding to expand network access, drawing from federal funds administered by the state’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

The funding, which would flow from the first round of the state’s ConneCTed Communities Grant Program, is slated to support the buildout of broadband infrastructure in 88 towns and communities throughout the state, including 26 on the state’s distressed municipalities list.

Connecticut’s grant programs were funded by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Projects Fund.
