ConnectGRADD
ConnectGRADD, Inc. (CGI) is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at delivering affordable, high-speed broadband Internet access across an entire rural region. One of the first such efforts in the nation, CGI is a collaboration between the fiscal courts of Daviess, Hancock, Henderson, McLean, Ohio, Union, and Webster counties and Internet service provider Norlight, Inc.Over half of the Green River region's 211,000 residents live in rural communities, having to pay over $60 per month on average for DSL or cable Internet service. Comparable service through CGI begins at under $30 per month. Improved broadband infrastructure offers rural residents unprecedented access to e-government services, economic development, entrepreneurship, education, tele-health, and entertainment opportunities.
