Gov. Beshear Announces Over $1 Billion in Federal Funds To Support High-Speed Internet Expansion

Gov. Andy Beshear joined federal officials to announce that Kentucky’s Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program proposal has been approved, which allows the state to request access to over $1 billion in federal “Internet for All” funding to expand high-speed internet. Last year Gov. Beshear announced the state secured nearly $1.1 billion in BEAD funding to bring affordable, reliable high-speed internet service to every Kentuckian. The award is the largest public investment in high-speed internet in the commonwealth’s history. Learn more about the state’s efforts to expand high-speed internet by clicking here.
