Ukiah secures $5.6M grant to expand affordable, high-speed internet access

The city of Ukiah has approved a partnership with internet provider Vero Fiber Networks to increase affordable and high-speed internet access in the city. The agreement was made possible by a grant of nearly $5.6 million awarded to the city by the California Public Utilities Commission. 

The CPUC administers this grant under its program called the “Last Mile Federal Funding Account,” an initiative that works to provide broadband infrastructure to underserved California communities.
