Morgan, other area counties to get funding for broadband

It is a move that will mean more broadband access for Madison: Governor Brian Kemp says Morgan County is among the beneficiaries of a public-private partnership with Tri County EMC, which will also expand rural internet availability in Jones, Baldwin, Putnam, Jasper, Twiggs, Wilkinson, and Bibb counties.

“Since our fight with COVID-19 began, alleviating the digital divide has only become more critical,” Kemp said.

“It is so good to be here to see this happening where we can actually share with your citizens in this part of the state that it’s happening here too, so I’m honored to be here,” he said.

The project is already underway and should be finished in less than two years.
