Expanding Broadband Access in Grafton County

I was proud to help pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to invest in the future growth and development of our state.

This week, I was proud to help announce that Grafton County is receiving a nearly $12 million grant to build broadband infrastructure.

This investment from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is a game-changer — it will help towns and communities throughout Grafton County connect homes, hospitals, and schools to high-speed internet and make future upgrades less expensive and more effective.

I was proud to help secure this grant and look forward to seeing our local leaders use these funds to build a brighter future for all.

You can find more in-depth coverage of this significant investment on WMUR, WCAX, and the Caledonian Record.

Learn more about this funding and how it will impact New Hampshire here.
