The Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) is launching a major project to bring high-speed internet to its community! With a $25 million grant from the USDA ReConnect program, a 191-mile fiber optic network will soon connect CRIT members, enhancing access to education, healthcare, and business opportunities. CRIT Project Coordinator Thai Yang says, “With this broadband expansion we are addressing a critical need and insuring no one is left behind.” Our very own PE, Tino Kehagias, was proud to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking this exciting milestone for CRIT’s digital future and sovereignty. #CRIT #BroadbandExpansion #FiberOpticNetwork #USDAReConnect #CommunityImpact #DigitalSovereignty https://lnkd.in/gf8Dwhbr
