According to Inside Indiana Business, the Indiana Broadband Office has designated Pike County as an official Broadband Ready Community.
The Broadband Ready Communities Program aims to encourage broadband development throughout the Hoosier State. The certification will let the telecommunication industry know that Pike County is working to reduce barriers to broadband infrastructure investment.
Pike County Commissioner, Mike Flint, notes that this designation validates the work of the Pike County Broadband Taskforce, which was formed to bring Pike County residents and businesses high-speed internet.
The certification was approved following the Pike County Commissioners’ adoption of a Broadband Ready Community ordinance.
