Comcast has taken a major step forward in bridging the digital divide in Greenwood, SC. With a substantial $6.1 million broadband expansion, the company now connects local homes and businesses to high-speed internet and advanced technology services. This move is set to boost education, drive economic growth, and empower the community in today’s connected world.
Expanding High-Speed Internet Access Across Greenwood, SC
Thanks to a grant from the American Rescue Plan Act State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, Comcast’s latest expansion brings internet, mobile, and security services to Greenwood for the first time. The network delivers multi-gigabit speeds and 99.9 percent reliability. As a result, Greenwood joins the ranks of more than 64 million locations nationwide already benefiting from Comcast’s trusted infrastructure. Local leaders highlighted how this investment supports not just current needs but also the city’s future, making high-speed internet accessible to families, schools, and businesses.
Community Investments: Laptops, Lift Zones, and Local Support
Comcast’s commitment to Greenwood goes beyond building networks. The company marked the launch with a ribbon-cutting event at the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakelands Region, gifting 50 high school students with free laptops. The event also included a $10,000 donation to the club for digital literacy programs. Greenwood’s Boys & Girls Club will soon become a Comcast Lift Zone, providing free WiFi and technology resources for youth development. The celebration featured food, music, and outreach from the Internet Essentials program, which offers low-cost broadband and digital training to income-constrained families.
Comcast Business Solutions and Continued Local Partnerships
For Greenwood’s business community, Comcast Business now provides connectivity, networking, wireless, and cybersecurity solutions. These services will help organizations of all sizes improve productivity and thrive in a digital economy. Community partnerships remain central to Comcast’s efforts. In the past three years, the company has invested $1.3 million in cash and in-kind support for South Carolina nonprofits. Local engagement continues, with Comcast set to sponsor the city’s upcoming Festival of Discovery, furthering its ties within Greenwood.
With its broadband expansion, technology donations, and ongoing community investment, Comcast Greenwood SC is helping close the technology gap. The city can now look forward to improved access, more digital opportunities, and support for both residents and local businesses as they prepare for future growth and innovation.
