Closing the Bronx's Digital Divide

Rep. Torres secured $2,000,000 in Fiscal Year 2026 Community Project Funding, part of more than $18 million across 16 projects he secured for the Bronx this year, to support HPD’s Neighborhood Internet initiative. The funding will bring high-speed broadband to low-income residents across the South Bronx over two years, covering microtrenching, rooftop network equipment installation, dedicated internet access infrastructure, and in-unit connectivity for more than 2,000 units across dozens of buildings. The New York Public Library is a key implementation partner. #nyc #bronx #internet
