Broadband Access - Google Fiber

Recently we celebrated one year of Google Fiber in Huntsville, a monumental achievement. Access to broadband is a request that virtually every major corporation desires when locating within our state. Yesterday we began talks about the importance of Google Fiber's presence in rural areas of Alabama as well. #Our67

​Earlier in the year, Governor Kay Ivey signed the Alabama Broadband Accessibility Act, which authorized the creation of a broadband accessibility grant program. The bill, sponsored by Senator Clay Scofield and Representative Donnie Chesteen, also created the Alabama Broadband Accessibility Fund. This is a great start to achieving the goal of bringing accessibility to all areas of Alabama.
