Comcast Surpasses 70 Lift Zones in Central and Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia

June 29, 2021

Across Central and Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, Comcast has been working with community partners like the LGBT Center in Reading to launch more than 60 WiFi-connected Lift Zones with more being added over the coming weeks and months.

What are Lift Zones?

Lift Zones establish WiFi-connected safe spaces in community centers that serve everyone from students and adults to veterans and seniors – and many others. Nationwide, Comcast has set a goal to launch 1,000+ Lift Zones by the end of 2021. Comcast recently announced a $1 billion investment over the next 10 years to help further close the digital divide as part of the 10th anniversary of its Internet Essentials program, which includes investing in Lift Zones. This effort is part of our ongoing commitment to help connect low-income families to the Internet and provide resources to help them fully participate in educational opportunities and the digital economy.

Lift Zones complement Comcast’s Internet Essentials program, which has helped connect millions of low-income people to the Internet at home since 2011, including 1.1 million people in Pennsylvania, 48,000 in West Virginia and 17,200 in Ohio. Working with its network of nonprofit partners, Comcast is providing free WiFi hotspot connectivity in community centers with access to hundreds of hours of digital skills content to help families and site coordinators navigate online learning, training and programming offered at these centers.

How to Partner With Comcast

Customers can recommend organizations serving low-income families that could benefit from free WiFi for their center-based programs. They can visit the following Xfinity Stores and provide recommendations through July 26 or click here:

  • Chambersburg, PA
  • Dickson City, PA
  • Greensburg, PA
  • Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Morgantown, WV
  • State College, PA
  • Washington, PA
  • Wheeling, WV

Community centers must be located within Comcast’s service area and not be within a school.

“The pandemic has put many low-income families at risk of being left behind, and we’re proud to work with community partners to support them with Internet adoption and digital equity programs like this one,” said Beth Crow, Director of Community Impact for Comcast’s Keystone Region. “We hope these Lift Zones help families across our region stay connected to vital resources.”
