MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (AP) — Gov. Mike DeWine signed legislation Monday creating a grant program meant to help expand broadband access in underserved and rural areas around Ohio.
The Republican visited an elementary school in Middletown to sign the measure, which provides $20 million this year for the new Ohio Residential Broadband Expansion Grant Program. DeWine proposed providing additional funding for broadband expansion in the state budget, and lawmakers are considering that.
