Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey joined state and White House officials in Gettysburg to announce $200 million established under the American Rescue Plan, to expand high-speed internet access for more than 44,000 homes and businesses throughout Pennsylvania, particularly in rural communities. Pennsylvania is expected to receive at least $1 billion more to expand affordable high-speed internet across the Commonwealth from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The American Rescue Plan provided $10 billion in funding to the U.S. Department of Treasury, of which Pennsylvania is receiving $279 million, for critical capital projects to provide high-quality modern infrastructure, including reliable, affordable broadband infrastructure.
