New York State government agencies and non-government organizations have applied for federal stimulus grants to make broadband service universally available in unserved and underserved communities across the State. The projects will provide greater internet access to people throughout the State, increase digital literacy programs, and spur economic development.

The applications were submitted for broadband funding available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The projects demonstrate innovative approaches to bridge the digital divide and enhance New York's broadband capacity in communities across the State. The projects will benefit economic and community development efforts, improve public safety communications, expand online government services, provide new educational opportunities and leverage the State's university research and development capacity.
