USDA ReConnect Program

The USDA ReConnect Program provides funding to help rural areas improve internet access by expanding broadband infrastructure. Its goal is to bridge the digital divide, ensuring rural communities have reliable, high-speed internet for education, healthcare, business, and everyday communication. The program offers grants and loans to internet service providers, cooperatives, and local governments to build or upgrade networks where connectivity is limited or unavailable. By supporting these improvements, ReConnect helps promote economic development and quality of life in rural regions, making essential online services accessible to residents and local businesses.
