KENTUCKY —  Scott County is the world headquarters of Toyota, Georgetown College and the community is now the recipient of a major federal grant from the Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration.

Judge/Executive Joe Pat Covington and the Scott County Fiscal Court recently secured $3,123,999 with the Scott County Rural Broadband Expansion Project, a last-mile project. This project will construct fiber to serve 5,351 unserved households in the project area, reaching all of the currently unserved homes.

During this In Focus Kentucky segment, host Mario Anderson continues the conversation with the Special Representative for Broadband at the NTIA, who discusses how this project will expand Scott County’s existing broadband infrastructure.

Charter Communications is the parent company of Spectrum News 1 and is a partner in the Scott County Rural Broadband Expansion Project.
