Mayor Scott & Lawmakers Tout Funding To Expand Internet Access For Baltimore’s Seniors

Local and federal officials on Monday touted millions of dollars in federal investments in Baltimore City that will go toward expanding internet access for seniors and bring them up to speed on telemedicine. Roughly $2.35 million in congressional earmarks has been set aside to not only expand the city’s fiber optic network to local senior centers but also to develop three telehealth pilot programs, according to Mayor Brandon Scott’s office.
