Mayor Zohran Mamdani and U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres announced a $2 million federal investment to expand free high-speed internet access for low-income New Yorkers on Monday, scaling up the city’s Neighborhood Internet program across The Bronx and Upper Manhattan.
The expansion builds on an initial pilot funded by the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), which is expected to bring free, high-speed internet to roughly 700 households in The Bronx and Upper Manhattan by this summer.
