Jackson County has become the 53rd community to achieve the designation of “Broadband Ready Community”.
“Thanks in large part to Jackson County REMC, we feel as thought Jackson County is at the forefront of the rural high-speed broadband initiative. We are excited to take yet another step forward in this initiative by obtaining the “Broadband Ready Community,” said Jackson County Board of Commissioners President Matt Reedy.
The program, which is administered by the Indiana Broadband office through the Indiana Office of Rural and Community Affairs, was created as a tool to encourage broadband development throughout Indiana. OCRA says the certification sends a signal to the telecommunication industry that a community has taken steps to reduce barriers to broadband infrastructure investment.
