On Sept. 20, Gov. Tom Wolf announced the successful completion of the first phase of his plan to expand broadband access throughout the state. The Pennsylvania Broadband Investment Incentive Program is helping deliver broadband access to 9,236 currently unserved rural Pennsylvanians, according to a statement from the Wolf administration.

The incentive program is aimed at ensuring that homes and businesses in parts of Erie, Crawford, Potter, Tioga, Mercer, Lycoming and Bradford counties have broadband access of at least 100 mbps by no later than June 2022.
