Broadband For Rural WV
WEST VIRGINIA...
A West Virginia-based organization secured a federal grant to pay for the technology. The latest computer lab was installed in Raleigh County just last week.
John Cox is a paramedic and volunteer firefighter, but lately he’s tried on another professional hat, that of a teacher. He’s involved in a program made possible by federal stimulus grant money.
Last week, the Ghent Volunteer Fire Department became the latest participant in the Federal Broadband Technology Opportunities Program. It’s meant to bring educational opportunities as well as broadband to parts of the state.
A total of 60 computer labs will be installed across the state during the next three years.
