11 Dec Free Wi-Fi locations added to Sullivan and Washington Counties
BrightRidge Broadband officials announced Thursday that the provider has activated 28 locations in Washington and Sullivan County where free and public Wi-Fi will be available.
According to a release, the $3 million project was largely funded with $2.46 million from Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development grants.
