"Ultimately, in many rural communities across the Nation, access to broadband internet remains a major hurdle to retaining and attracting businesses and jobs."

"This lack of broadband in many rural areas is a serious impediment to many facets of American life, including economic development."

"We are all excited on both sides of the aisle about reauthorizing the EDA."

"While EDA can and does fund some broadband projects, we must ensure any unnecessary hurdles are addressed so we can help more Americans get connected."
