Carroll County has announced the “Difficult to Serve – Long Driveway Grant Program,” effective immediately.

The county applied and received a grant from the State of Maryland for the FY24 Home Stretch – Difficult to Serve Properties Grant.  In an effort to provide internet to the unserved areas of the county, this grant provides funding assistance up to $14,000 to connect qualifying homes with driveways longer than an internet service provider will connect “for free” as part of the installation.

Deadline and Time Frame: This program has a limited amount of funding. The first round of applications will close on May 31st, and applications will be evaluated on a first-come, first-served basis. If remaining funds exist, a second round will open, and additional information will be published.
