South Central Power Ventures into Internet Business to Bridge Rural Connectivity Gap

South Central Power, an electric cooperative, is using a $100 million state grant to launch connectSCP, aiming to provide internet to underserved areas across 24 counties in southern, central, and eastern Ohio.

The program reflects a broader effort to bridge the digital divide in rural communities.
