Rep. Jonathan Fritz has announced that the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority (PBDA) has allocated $787,322 to Liberty Township. The funding aims to address the essential need for broadband access in the area by establishing a centralized hub and rehabilitating Grange Hall.

Fritz emphasized the importance of this development, stating, “Rural Pennsylvania has been left behind when it comes to high-speed internet access. So many facets of our life work under a false assumption that everyone has broadband available at home. While we still have a long way to go, this project will give residents in Liberty Township a reliable internet connection for whatever their needs may be.”

The financial support is provided through PBDA’s Multi-Purpose Community Facilities Program. This program offers funds to community anchor institutions and local government units for projects aimed at constructing, acquiring, or improving facilities accessible to the public.
