Former State director joins AAPB as organization launches.
Governor Janet Mills announced today that the ConnectMaine Board of Directors has voted to approve the second round of broadband infrastructure projects funded by the High Speed Internet Infrastructure Bond she spearheaded and that Maine voters overwhelmingly approved in July 2020. This second round of funding will connect approximately 6,000 Maine homes and businesses to high-speed internet.
The ConnectMaine Authority said it added 8,000 homes to the network last year, will add 6,000 more this year, and more than 30,000 over the next few years.
