USDA LAUNCHES HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND E-CONNECTIVITY RESOURCE GUIDE

摘要

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has launched a new toolkit to help support the deployment of high-speed broadband e-Connectivity in rural communities. The e-Connectivity Toolkit (https://bit.lv/2WMF uFz) features 27 USDA programs that support broadband deployment. The resource allows customers to identify their type of e-Connectivity project and locate resources the federal government offers for planning, equipment, construction, research and other e-Connectivity projects. Resources such as grants, loans and technical assistance are available from multiple Mission Areas at USDA, including Rural Development, National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Farm Service Agency, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Forest Service.
