Support from local leaders has poured in from across Northern Indiana as the state’s Next Level Connections (NLC) Broadband Grant Program takes applications to subsidize broadband construction to rural areas.
Surf Internet, a leader in cutting-edge, fiber-optic broadband services, is working closely with community leaders, and promising $35 million of their own investment to apply to Round 4 of Next Level Connections funding in hopes of delivering broadband to Hoosier households. Over 110 letters of support have come in from community leaders, local residents, and stakeholders across 16 Northern Indiana counties to partner with Surf in acquiring the state grant dollars.
Indiana’s Next Level Connections website indicates that the state expects to award the grants during the summer of 2024. Applicants will have 24 months from the award date to complete construction.
