President Calls for Strengthening Rural Broadband Connectivity

To tackle this infrastructure dilemma in 2024, President Biden has proposed a budget increase to $400 million for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Broadband ReConnect Program. This is after the Reconnect Program received $2 million from the original Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Broadband ReConnect Program President Biden’s goal is to connect rural Americans with affordable, reliable, high-speed internet. This leads to increased property values, lower rates of unemployment, and new developing businesses.
