State-funded broadband build-outs making progress — but for lawmakers, anxiety lingers
Local residents "are beginning to see the fruits of state-funded broadband expansion efforts." While Chazy & Westport Communications announced completion of a project that expanded broadband to 620 homes and businesses, Slic Network Solutions has completed the majority of its network construction. According to a spokesman for the state Broadband Program Office, "Based on network construction completed by the end of 2018, approximately 98 percent of locations currently have access to broadband."
