June 20, 2024 – [The Office of Broadband Expansion and Accessibility of Mississippi](https://governorreeves.ms.gov/mississippi-deploying-70-9-million-for-24-broadband-infrastructure-projects-in-19-counties/?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) approved a $70.9 million investment for 24 broadband projects across the state, funded through the Capital Projects Fund on Tuesday.

Internet service providers will build out high-speed internet connectivity through 24 broadband infrastructure projects spanning 19 counties. Additional projects are expected to receive approval over the summer.

The ISPs receiving the money include AT&T, Cspire, Comcast, DE Fastlink, Conexon, Delta Fiber, Franklin Telephone, Swyft Connect, and Uplink. 

This initiative aims to deliver high-speed broadband to approximately 27,000 households across the designated counties. [Gov. **Tate Reeves** said that](https://www.beam.ms.gov/?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) “one’s zip code shouldn’t determine their access to the full range of benefits technology has to offer.” 

The CPF’s $162 million investment represents one of three key initiatives enhancing Mississippi broadband, as directed by BEAM. This includes a $32 million Broadband Infrastructure Program with 12 projects across 10 counties. BEAM is striving to secure $1.2 billion from the federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment grant, while managing $10.7 million in State Digital Skills and Accessibility grants.
