Carter County Internet Upgrade

MOney from the American Rescue Plan has led the Carter County Commission to approve millions of dollars in funding to help expand internet access in some of the county’s most rural districts.Commissioners voted to spend $2.5 million on top of $600,000 that was already set aside for the project. The state will also provide more than $7 million. Commissioners say the project will be fiber-based. So the capacities are going to be much higher and the residential cost will be achievable.
