Connect Ohio has received $5.3million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding to continue its work under the State Broadband Data and Development program.

The funding will allow Connect Ohio to continue projects for three more years, which fulfills the five-year broadband mapping program required of each state by the federal government.

Connect Ohio is a public-private partnership to spur development by expanding broadband technology.
