NTIA Awards New York $36M in Digital Equity Support

NTIA approved New York’s application to access $36 million to implement the state’s digital equity plan, the federal agency said Thursday. The money comes from the $1.44 billion state digital equity capacity grant program. Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said, “These funds will empower our communities with the skills, devices, and connectivity they need to thrive in today’s digital world -- whether it’s accessing critical health care resources, expanding job opportunities, or enhancing educational tools for our students.”
