La. Governor Unveils $8M More for Broadband

Louisiana will spend another $8 million to expand broadband to another 600 households in four parishes, Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) said Thursday. The governor announced the support at a groundbreaking for a $1.5 million project by Cajun Broadband in St. Martin Parish. The projects are funded by the state’s Granting Unserved Municipalities Broadband Opportunities (GUMBO) program. “Companies like Cajun Broadband are paving the way for our state to close the digital divide by 2029,” said Edwards.
