A federal stimulus grant will pay for more than 800 new computers in low-income Philadelphia neighborhoods.
City officials say the $6.4 million grant announced Saturday will create 48 new computing centers and four mobile computing centers. The new computers will serve about 14,000 more people per week.
Officials say they'll also increase hours at some existing centers, creating about 90 new full- and part-time jobs.
The grant was part of a $795 million funding package for broadband projects under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
