Michigan All-In on Closing the Digital Divide with American Rescue Plan Support

On October 6, 2022, the U.S. Department of the Treasury approved Michigan's plan to use its full Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund allocation to support broadband expansion in the state. Michigan will receive $250.6 million for broadband infrastructure, which the state estimates will connect 67,857 households and businesses—representing 23% of locations still lacking high-speed internet access. This funding will contribute to the state's current programs aimed at closing the Michigan digital divide.
