Provided 25,000 low-income students with internet access

In Kent and Sussex counties, we have made it a priority to expand access to highspeed broadband and eliminate internet deserts. In the past year, we expanded wireless broadband to over 500 Delawareans. That number continues to grow each week. The Department of Education and DTI partnered to create the Connect Delaware program. Through this program, we provided over 25,000 low-income students with reliable internet access.

New investments on roads, transit, high-speed internet

With your help, we've invested $10 million in a new Transportation Infrastructure Fund. Delawareans expect to be able to get to and from work quickly and safely. That's why we're investing $4.5 billion over the next six years to modernize our roads, bridges, and public transit.

New investments in our technology infrastructure have already brought high-speed internet to the areas around Laurel, Seaford and Bridgeville--where service was spotty or nonexistent.

Invest $3 billion in transportation infrastructure

We continue to make historic investments in our infrastructure--with over $3 billion to upgrade our transportation system through 2025. That means less traffic, safer bridges, and more pedestrian friendly streets. This year I'm proposing to create a new Transportation Infrastructure Investment Fund that would help the state to react quickly to important economic development projects. We're going to invest $10 million in this new fund. Source: 2019 State of the State address to Delaware legislature , Jan 17, 2019
