DES MOINES â Itâs not all she asked for, but the Iowa Legislatureâs $100 million appropriation is a historic investment that will transform Iowaâs broadband infrastructure, âopening doors to new opportunities for communities large and small,â Gov. Kim Reynolds said Monday.
The governor signed House File 867, which includes broadband funding, one of the priorities Reynolds identified at the start of the legislative session in January.
A large share of the $100 million will be used for grants to improve or extend broadband connectivity in rural Iowa, but broadband âdesertsâ in urban areas likely will benefit from whatâs being described as the âlargest single, one-time expenditure on a project in Iowa history.â
