“This is a huge victory for our area,” said Rep. Jamie Kiel, “but we are not through. I will continue to work through the legislative process to ensure everyone in Franklin County and House District 18 has access to rural broadband internet. In addition, I am grateful for the work, since 2013, of the Franklin County Broadband Task Force and its chairperson, Katerina Cole-Coffey.”
Kiel said one of his major goals since being elected in 2018 has been to bring broadband to rural areas.
