Broadband opportunity available for residents with long driveways
Charles County commissioners and the Rural Broadband TaskForce have announced the start of a new grant program for homeowners with long driveways.
The Long Driveway — Category 3 Grant Program assists in funding broadband connections for residents where the cost of installation due to the length of their driveway is a primary factor. The grant covers 90% of the construction drop, up to $15,000 to connect homes at the end of long, private driveways where a broadband network is available.
Residents who qualify for the Affordable Connectivity Program may be eligible for a Hardship Waiver for the remaining 10 percent of construction costs. Funding for the program is provided by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
