N.C. Communities to Get $30 Million for Digital Equity

North Carolina will spread $30 million dollars of federal grant money across state organizations to expand digital equity, the North Carolina Department of Information Technology said Tuesday. The money comes from the state’s Digital Champions grants, funded by the American Rescue Plan Act. It “will help more families take part in our increasingly digital world,” Gov. Roy Cooper, R-N.C., said. Grant winners include community service, nonprofit, higher education and regional organizations such as libraries and schools.
