Ground broken on high-speed internet project in southern York County
Improved internet connectivity is the goal of a $21 million broadband expansion project in southern York County. Ground was broken Nov. 5 on the project that will bring high-speed fiber internet to nearly 3,000 homes and businesses in New Freedom, Railroad, Glen Rock, Seven Valleys and adjacent areas. York County commissioners, members of the YoCo Fiber Broadband Task Force and Talkie Communications officials were on hand for the groundbreaking on the project, which will take around 10 months to complete, according to a statement released by York County officials. “This project is about more than technology; it’s about connecting people and communities,” stated York County President Commissioner Julie Wheeler. “Broadband internet access is essential to ensuring our residents and businesses have the basic infrastructure they need to succeed." The partnership with Talkie Communications is part of York County's goal to close the digital divide countywide.
