Broadband Connectivity Support: Easier Access to State Funding.
This act simplifies funding for rural broadband projects. It ensures that state funding does not disqualify projects from receiving additional federal support. This means more communities can gain access to high-speed internet, improving quality of life, education, and professional opportunities.
Key points
Broadband projects receiving state funding remain eligible for federal funds.
State funds (including those from the federal government) can be used to meet matching requirements for federal programs.
This facilitates the expansion of broadband infrastructure, especially in rural areas.
