Wisconsin Public Service Commission Awards $58 Million to Expand High-Speed Internet Access
Governor Tony Evers and the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) have announced the allocation of nearly $58 million in grants to expand high-speed internet access across the state. This funding, awarded through the State Broadband Expansion Grant Program, aims to bring new or improved internet service to over 428,000 homes and businesses in unserved communities. The initiative will support 46 projects across 18,000 locations throughout Wisconsin. Governor Evers emphasized that access to high-speed internet is a necessity, not a luxury, and highlighted his administration's eight-year effort to ensure reliable and affordable internet for all residents, regardless of their ZIP code. The administration stated that this ongoing work has already resulted in 428,000 locations receiving new or improved service, and the new funding will continue efforts to close the digital divide in Wisconsin.
