As part of his commitment to connect every home and business in Kentucky to affordable, reliable high-speed internet, on Sept. 5, 2023, Gov. Andy Beshear announced a record $386 million investment to expand access in 46 counties, bringing high-speed internet access to more than 42,600 homes and businesses for the first time.
Among the awards was $7,244,132 to Cumberland Cellular, LLC dba DUO Broadband, to expand service to 378 homes and businesses in Adair County, and $12,112,908 to Spectrum Mid-America, LLC to expand service to 2,142 homes and businesses in Casey County.
The funding will allow providers to run fiber to each location. More than 25,000 locations are considered to have no service and more than 17,000 are considered unserved.
