We thank all partners and stakeholders whose support made this achievement possible. Together, we are building a more connected and equitable future for all residents,” stated Randolph County Government officials.

The CAB program, administered by NCDIT’s Division of Broadband and Digital Opportunity, is designed to speed up broadband deployment across North Carolina through collaborative public-private partnerships. It is supported by federal American Rescue Plan funding, local government contributions, and private provider investment.
