State Representative Rob Summerfield (R-Bloomer) and State Senator Howard Marklein (R-Spring Green) are calling for the expansion of Wisconsin s broadband infrastructure to help unserved communities.
The two legislators circulated legislation this week to dial-in the Wisconsin Rural Broadband Expansion Grant program, which was created in 2013. Since then, the program has invested more than $72 million in grant funding to unserved and underserved communities with little or no access to high-speed internet.
“Broadband expansion continues to be one of my top priorities,” Sen. Marklein said. “We have made tremendous progress in Wisconsin and with this progress comes the need to refine the Rural Broadband Expansion grant program and our efforts to continue expanding into the communities that need our support. The changes in this legislation, written with stakeholders, keep the grant program nimble so that we are reaching the truly unserved in Wisconsin.�
