Friend ––
I’ve heard from Michiganders in every corner of our state about the need to expand access to reliable, affordable high-speed internet. From our cities to our rural communities, every Michigander should be able to get online — and I’m working hard to make that happen.
Through the bipartisan infrastructure law, more than 690,000 Michigan households have received affordable internet through the Affordable Connectivity Program. Building on that, over the last month, I’ve played a key role in delivering two major federal investments in high-speed internet to Michigan — funded by the bipartisan infrastructure law I helped pass. This critical funding will provide high-speed internet service to unserved and underserved communities, support small businesses, educational opportunities and access to telehealth. It will also work to increase the resiliency and reliability of internet infrastructure in our state.
Make no mistake: increasing access to internet and expanding our broadband infrastructure will make our entire state stronger.
Internet connectivity is essential to our economy and daily lives. This vital and historic funding will make a difference for families, small businesses, and communities, and please know that I’ll keep working to increase high-speed internet access for all Michiganders.
Thanks for reading,
Gary Peters
United States Senator for Michigan |
