About the ReConnect Program

The ReConnect Program offers loans, grants, and loan/grant combinations to facilitate broadband deployment in areas of rural America without sufficient access to broadband.

  *   The awards made under this program will bring high-speed broadband to rural areas that lack sufficient access to broadband.

  *   The delivery of broadband connection and high-quality service will enable technologies critical to rural communities, such as precision agriculture.
  *   The pilot program will fuel long-term economic development and opportunities in rural America.
