West Virginia May Return Stimulus Broadband Funds
West Virginia could forfeit more than 2.5 million in leftover stimulus money from a 126.3 million federal grant to expand statewide high speed Internet. Citynet proposed nine facilities linking WV to the national backbone, but NTIA raised concerns over unused Cisco routers, lack of community impact letters, and budget gaps and deadline risks. Frontier Communications and union oppose, while officials seek to provide required information to NTIA and avoid returning unobligated funds.
