Comcast to Spend $36 Million on Indiana Fiber, State Will Chip in $13.6 Million

Comcast plans to spend $36 million to deploy fiber broadband to unserved and underserved areas of 19 Indiana counties. The company has signed contracts with the state, which will contribute $13.6 million toward total project costs of $50 million. The state's funding comes through the Indiana Next Level Connections Broadband Grant Program. Comcast’s contribution covers about 72% of total project costs, which is a hefty portion, in comparison with what we’ve seen from some other companies that have received government broadband funding. The 19 Indiana counties where Comcast will be built using the state funding are as follows: Allen, Bartholomew, Carroll, Cass, Delaware, Fayette, Hendricks, Jennings, Johnson, Hamilton, Huntington, La Porte, Madison, Marshall, Montgomery, Morgan, Porter, Starke, and Wayne.
