“Access to high-speed, reliable internet service is vital infrastructure as critical to our connectivity as roads and bridges,” Beshear said in a statement on Thursday. Determining where access is most needed will help ensure that funding is spent wisely, he said.

Kentucky residents, business owners and internet service providers can enter a physical address and then can either verify or challenge the information. Challenges must be filed by Jan. 13.
