The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) announced today the next round of recipients for the Broadband Expansion Grant Program, and one of those projects is taking place in Kewaunee County.
Hilbert Communications is building a 61.7 mile fiber route through the County, which will provide improved broadband support for wireless service to 1,752 businesses and 20,434 residential locations. They are receiving just over $1.4 million in support of this project. The PSC awarded $28.4 million for 58 projects to expand high-speed broadband internet access to unserved and underserved locations in 44 counties.
This is the second round of funding from the 2019-2021 biennium budget signed by Governor Evers in 2019. That budget provided a historic investment of $48 million for the Broadband Expansion Grant Program.
