Rep. Val Demings of the Florida 10th District (which includes Apopka) announced a new federal program created under the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Florida can expect to receive $1.6 billion in federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. But how much of that can Apopka tap into?

According to research from the group Broadband Now, affordability is Florida's most pressing problem, as fewer than six in 10 Floridians have access to a low-cost internet service plan.

It's funny... everyone loves bi-partisan bills in theory, and we love when elected officials reach across the aisle and work together. We love it right up until someone from our side works with someone from the other side...

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act includes around $550 billion in new federal investment in America’s roads and bridges, water infrastructure, resilience, internet, and more.
