Verizon’s Commitment to Houston
The Lone Star State saw unprecedented population growth over the last couple of years, including an influx of more than 200,000 Verizon wireless customers. Verizon recently allocated an additional $97.9 million to its local capital spending in Texas to meet growing demands on the network. In Houston alone, that additional investment will result in new macro cell sites, small cell sites and cellular repeaters to add coverage and capacity to the network and manage the data resulting from urban sprawl and suburban growth, and speed the deployment of 5G across the city and in metropolitan areas.
Further, Verizon Innovative Learning, the company’s award-winning education initiative focused on addressing barriers to digital inclusion for more than a decade, is investing in local education. More than 50% of eligible middle schools in Houston are receiving Verizon’s technology, innovative learning curriculum, and devices for free. Through Verizon Innovative Learning, local students also participate in a free enrichment program located on campus at both Texas Southern University and Houston Community College.
These efforts are part of Citizen Verizon, the company’s responsible business plan for economic, environmental and social advancement; which is underpinned by using leading edge technology to drive social impact and create lasting change. In 2021, Verizon provided over $20,000,000 to programs (estimated market value) within Houston.
