Internet service is sometimes difficult to come by in more remote parts of Ohio, but state officials are working to alleviate this problem for families.
In order to ensure that all residents in Adams, Brown, and Clermont counties in Ohio have access to the internet, the state has teamed up with Altafiber to construct the required infrastructure. More than 38,000 individuals in the three counties will have access to Wi-Fi thanks to the $130 million project.
Clermont Northeastern Schools Superintendent Tim Sies had previously stated that staff were finding it particularly difficult to give homework due to students’ lack of home learning materials, which was expressed before the announcement of this project.
The practice of having students do homework assignments outside of class and then discussing and implementing those assignments in class has been around for quite some time. “When you don’t have internet at home, it’s hard to do that,” Sies added.
Small companies and medical facilities will also reap the benefits of the project.
The modern economy, healthcare system, and educational system are inaccessible to those who do not have access to high-speed internet. The situation is going to change for the better, and you’re already at a significant disadvantage, as Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted of Ohio put it.
We anticipate finishing the majority of the project by 2026. According to Sies, the availability of internet connection for families in his district will have a profound impact on both pupils and parents.

It’s all about locating everything online today, according to WKRC. Our children read books on electronic gadgets. With our school’s one-to-one program, students are able to take their own gadgets home. However, if they do not have access to the internet at home, these devices serve no purpose.
“Now that they’ve read and researched everything that they can do in school, they can do it at home too,” Sies remarked.
Organizations and households will still be required to pay for a plan even though the infrastructure is already in place, so they may use the internet.
