Moore County has been selected for funding under the NC Growing Rural Economies with Access to Technology (GREAT) Grant award program. The award has been granted to Brightspeed who was just acquired by Lumen, formerly CenturyLink.
The award from the state is in the amount of $4,000,000 for a total project cost of $9,421,502. The county contribution to this project is $500,000 in which the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds will be used.
