The USDA ReConnect program is a central part of President Biden's Investing in America agenda to rebuild the U.S. economy, funding high-speed internet in rural areas.
USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack emphasized the importance of the program, stating that reliable internet connects rural America and brings innovative ideas, creating good-paying jobs.
The latest funding boost of over $313 million aims to enhance connectivity for rural residents, farmers, and business owners across 18 states.
Examples of funding allocations include loans and grants, such as $5.5 million each to Consolidated Telephone Company for Crow Wing and Morrison counties in Minnesota.
