FLORIDA — In Florida, a rural town in northwestern Massachusetts, high-speed broadband internet is hard to come by.
“Depending on where you live in town, you might have better access to internet,” said Joan Lewis, the town’s administrator. “Sometimes that can prove to be dangerous for our emergency departments.”
Florida is one of the many communities in the Pioneer Valley that is slated to receive high-speed internet lines through a $45.5 million grant provided by the state and the Massachusetts Broadband Institute.
