“This grant program is already set to bring high-speed internet to numerous households and businesses across North Carolina, and we’re pleased that we will now reach even more unserved areas,” said NCDIT Secretary and State Chief Information Officer Jim Weaver. The GREAT grant program, established in 2018 as part of Governor Roy Cooper’s plan to close the digital divide, is a competitive program that provides matching grants to internet service providers that may partner with individual North Carolina counties to expand high-speed internet service to unserved areas of the state. These latest grant awards add to the more than $269 million total awarded in 2022 to connect 117,405 households and businesses.
