A grant application submitted by the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation was approved for a share of a $125 million Broadband Expansion Grant administered by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin. The broadband expansion grants, announced on Thursday, invest in construction projects for internet service in areas of the state that are challenging to connect due to population density or geography.
The PSC awarded $1,364,000 to the SCEDC to utilize a Fiber-to-the-Premise service to reach 25 businesses and 1,221 residential locations along Highway 57 from the Village of Random Lake north to the Town of Rhine – a total of 1,233 unserved locations. The SCEDC will be putting $1,806,000 in matching funds into the project.
