The state of Maine is set to receive more than $128 million in relief funding to expand broadband infrastructure in the state.

Independent U.S. Senator Angus King said Friday that the money comes from the American Rescue Plan Act.

In addition, each of Maine’s five Native American tribes will see $167,000 in funding for broadband.

In the announcement, Senator King also said the state can expect to see more money for broadband from the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

“These American Rescue Plan funds, combined with the investments included in the Senate’s bipartisan infrastructure deal, are a major step towards ensuring that every Maine person – regardless of where they live – can access the opportunities provided by a broadband connection,” King said.

Governor Janet Mills praised the investment, saying in a statement, “With this Federal funding, we will redouble our efforts to ensure that all Maine people and Maine businesses, regardless of zip code, are able to utilize the vital tool that is broadband to improve their lives and grow our economy.”
