Businesses eye better connectivity as rural broadband funding begins flowing into Montana
U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) says June will be big for rural broadband expansion in Montana as millions of dollars in federal funding flow into the state.

Already in June, $119 million from the American Rescue Plan Act and $47 million from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act have been designated for rural broadband projects across the state.

Tester’s office says another large investment is on the way.
