On May 8th, 2023, following his successful efforts to secure an $11.3 million grant for Livingston County from the USDA’s Broadband ReConnect Program, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer announced the launch of the county’s ‘Light Up Livingston’ initiative, which will provide high-speed internet access to over 1,000 Livingston addresses. Empire Access, a family-owned telecom provider based in Prattsburgh, NY, is partnering with Livingston County to build out the new infrastructure. Specifically, the grant will enable the deployment of a fiber-to-the-premises network to reach thousands of residents, including 96 farms and 22 businesses in Livingston County, New York.
