CAMDEN, Ala. (WBRC) – Governor Kay Ivey announced today the awarding of more than $188 million to continue the expansion of high-speed internet access in Alabama. The grants were awarded to 12 internet service providers to install more than 4,000 miles of “middle-mile” projects throughout Alabama. Middle-mile projects help fill the gap in broadband expansion to make it more economically feasible and less labor intensive for providers to extend services to unserved businesses and households in the state.
