During the pandemic, Senator Kyrsten Sinema points out many Arizonans couldn’t have access to the education they needed or work remotely even if they wanted to.
The Treasury released $99.4 million in broadband funding to Arizona Tuesday, money that officials said could bring broadband internet service to an estimated 127,807 households and businesses around the state.
“ not just that you need it at libraries, not just in schools, not just in each classroom, not just in some homes, but strong, affordable broadband enough for every family to be able to work from home and do school from home,” Sperling said. Arizona was one of three states to get funding Tuesday with Tennessee, which received $185 million to extend service to 50,000 households, and Wyoming, which got $70.5 million to provide broadband to 11,700 customers. Since the program started last summer, 33 states have received all or part of their expected allocation from the program.
“It helps ensure that communities that have long been overlooked and underserved by the federal government, including tribal communities throughout Arizona, have the opportunity to apply for and receive their fair share,” Sinema said during the White House call announcing the grants. “We expect to increase access to high speed internet and reduce broadband bills for Americans across the country,” Leibenluft said.
