TUCSON, ARIZ. (KGUN) — Governor Doug Ducey announced a $100 million plan to expand high-speed broadband to under-served areas of Arizona. The program is called the "Arizona Broadband Development Grant."

This funding will provide local communities the ability to improve broadband in homes, schools, libraries, small businesses, public safety operations and more.
