Province Awards Grey County $1 Million in Funding
On November 28, 2008 the Province announced that Grey County was one of 15 municipalities selected to receive broadband funding from the Province’s Rural Connections Program. Rural Connections ... The Ontario Municipal Rural Broadband Partnership is a $30 million, four-year initiative designed to reduce broadband infrastructure gaps in underserved rural regions in southern Ontario.
The availability of the $1 million as a one third contribution from the province lets us build $3 million in broadband infrastructure. When completed all areas of the County will have a 75% chance of access to affordable broadband Internet. Through a competitive process, Everus Communications Inc. was chosen to build a high speed wireless network to service our businesses and residents.
