Broadband for Norfolk |
Norfolk County has
received approval from the Rural Connections
Broadband Program of the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), for
funding to enhance high-speed Internet for residents
and businesses.
The project is a cooperative initiative involving
Norfolk County, Norfolk Energy, KWIC Internet, the
Norfolk District Business Development Corporation
and Fanshawe College.
Norfolk County is one of 14 Ontario municipalities
moving forward with plans to build local broadband
infrastructure in partnership with the provincial
government. The province is providing $1 million for
this project.
"This much-anticipated announcement promises to
improve rural high-speed Internet and provide
enhanced community access to services while further
supporting innovation in Norfolk's diversifying
economy," said Dennis Travale, Mayor of Norfolk
County.
"I am delighted that Norfolk County is part of this
strategic move," said Leona Dombrowsky, Minister of
Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
