Onslow and 13 other North Carolina Counties will share in $22 million in grant money to expand access to high-speed internet.
The Completing Access to Broadband program will connect 6,012 households and 164 businesses in the 14 counties to high-speed internet.
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper said his office will continue to collaborate with county leaders and all grantees to close the state’s digital divide.
The CAB program provides matching grants to internet service providers that partner with individual counties to compete for funding to expand high-speed internet service to unserved and underserved areas of the state.
CAB program applicants must also agree to provide high-speed service, on or before Dec. 31, 2026.
