“High-speed Internet is essential to almost all aspects of our lives,” explained Rep. Jamie Kiel. “That’s why getting broadband Internet to all of Franklin County has been one of my focuses.
“Last year, I announced a $3,875,141.90 grant to expand fiber optic high-speed Internet into parts of rural Franklin County. That grant has made possible fiber installation in the southern and eastern parts of the county, and some of these areas are already using the service, but we still have work to do.”
