Office Of Broadband Development Seeks Public Comment During Stop In Elizabethtown

As reported last week, the US Department of Treasury approved Kentucky’s plan to invest more than $182M to provide affordable broadband service to areas that currently have no access or limited access. On Thursday, Governor Andy Beshear announced a 14 stop listening tour across the Commonwealth where Kentuckians can bring their priorities and concerns to the Office of Broadband Development and the Education and Labor Cabinet. One of those stops will be in Elizabethtown on February 23. Those interested in attending are asked to register at broadband.ky.gov. The purpose of these stops is to bring local leaders, business and industry, education, healthcare, agriculture and local residents together to bring their input of what is needed in their communities when addressing internet access.
