High-speed internet access is moving closer to becoming a reality for every corner of Madison County, thanks to a $750,000 investment of Federal ARPA funds and a three-phase construction partnership with Spectrum. County leaders say the project is critical for education, economic growth and overall community development.

Benjamin U’Sellis of Charter Communications updated the Madison County Fiscal Court on Tuesday, reporting that the broadband buildout is roughly 75% complete.
