HARRISBURG – Rep. Jonathan Fritz (R-Susquehanna/Wayne) announced the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority (PBDA) has awarded $787,322 to Liberty Township.
Addressing the critical need for broadband access for essential services, the money will be used to establish a centralized hub for the community and will rehabilitate Grange Hall.
“Rural Pennsylvania has been left behind when it comes to high-speed internet access,” Fritz said. “So many facets of our life work under a false assumption that everyone has broadband available at home. While we still have a long way to go, this project will give residents in Liberty Township a reliable internet connection for whatever their needs may be.”
The funding for this project comes from PBDA’s Multi-Purpose Community Facilities Program. It’s available to community anchor institutions and units of local government for community projects to construct, acquire, or improve facilities that are, or will be, open to the public.
