23 million dollars awarded to Florida to increase broadband internet access

Over 23 million dollars is coming to Florida to help provide broadband internet service to 14 rural counties including 8 in North Florida.
The money will go to the Florida Rural Broadband Alliance to connect residents, community institutions and small businesses to high-speed broadband internet.
The project, known as the Middle Mile network, will connect as many as 190 community anchor institutions to broadband, including 41 public schools, 30 public safety organizations, 28 libraries, 20 institutions of higher education, and 31 government buildings and centers.
Collectively, the project is expected to create hundreds of local jobs and reach over 417 thousand people and nearly 16,000 businesses.
The services will extend into Franklin, Gulf, and Liberty counties.
