A $41 million initiative has been launched to bolster broadband infrastructure across the state of Connecticut, enhancing internet connectivity for residents and businesses. Administered by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, the ConneCTed Communities Grant Program aims to bridge the digital divide, prioritizing underserved areas. Projects must ensure access to high-speed internet with speeds of at least 100 Mbps. Applications are open until April 30th, with a webinar scheduled for March 20th to provide further details.
