Martin County - Wednesday October 18, 2023: Martin County has allocated $1 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to bring broadband access to central Martin County.

"Utilizing ARPA funds, we're taking efforts to resolve connectivity, beginning in central Martin County. Our goal is to help students, families and businesses — enhancing lives and encouraging economic development,” he continued.
