South Central Power Ventures into Internet Business to Bridge Rural Connectivity Gap
South Central Power, an electric cooperative, is using a $100 million state grant to launch connectSCP, aiming to provide internet to underserved areas across 24 counties in southern, central, and eastern Ohio. This initiative, starting with 2,500 homes in areas like New Market and Somerton, aligns with South Central’s history of community service dating back to the 1930s. The program reflects a broader effort to bridge the digital divide in rural communities.
