A historic restoration and a broadband upgrade transformed an 1800s church – turned town hall – into a new community hub for gatherings and essential high-speed internet access. Liberty Township in Susquehanna County celebrated the completed restoration of its Grange Hall, made possible through $780,000 from PBDA’s Multi-Purpose Community Facilities Program.  

This project used the COVID-era community broadband program to help the rural township expand access to health care, education, and employment opportunities for residents who have lacked the internet speeds needed to keep pace with modern demands.
