Indiana County’s ongoing efforts to expand broadband service will be highlighted tomorrow morning in a news conference at the Indiana County Courthouse lobby.
The media event will feature the county commissioners, Senator Joe Pittman, State Representative Jim Struzzi, Brian Smith, Emergency management Agency Tom Stutzman, Office of Planning & Development Director Byron Stauffer, and possibly Brian Subich of Congressman Glenn “G.T.” Thompson’s office, and state representatives Abby Major and Jason Silvis.
The update on the Indiana County Broadband Deployment Initiative will include details on strategies and opportunities to leverage taxpayer dollars to develop high-speed, high-quality broadband in unserved and underserved communities. There will be maps and other information on what has happened so far and future development.
Congressman Thompson announced recently that Indiana County has received a $1.5 million federal ARC POWER Initiative GrantCARES Act, which the county matched, making for a $3 million pool for broadband development.
The news conference is at 9:30 AM and will be available via Zoom and Facebook.
