    Davis Parishes to benefit

    By Jim Beam - July 26, 2022

    Households and small businesses in Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu and
    Jeff Davis parishes are among 66,000 in 50 parishes that will get
    internet service through a $130 million investment from the American
    Rescue Plan.

    Gov. John Bel Edwards said the total investment from the plan is $176
    million, and Monday's announcement of $130 million is being used for
    the first phase. Edwards was joined by state lawmakers, local elected
    leaders in north Louisiana and Kim Hunter Reed, commissioner of higher education.
