U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that the department is accepting applications for ReConnect Program grants and loans. The program is intended to increase access to high-speed internet for millions of people in rural America throughout the nation. More than $1 billion has been made available by the USDA to provide offer reliable, high-speed, and affordable internet. Funding was acquired under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
“Ensuring that the people of rural America are connected with reliable, high-speed internet brings new and innovative ideas to the rest of our country… That’s why high-speed internet is an important part of USDA Rural Development’s work with rural communities,” Secretary Vilsack said.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Vilsack to have wisdom as he oversees the implementation of rural high-speed internet.
- For USDA officials as they pursue rural development programs.
