LINCOLN- Governor Pete Ricketts announced more than $29.5 million in funding will go to the Remote Access Rural Broadband Grant program and will be administered by the Nebraska Department of Economic Development. The grant was made possible by federal CARES Act funding, including $1.8 million allocated to Nebraska.

This is one of four grants the DED created to support the state's economic recovery as the pandemic continues. More than 17,600 households in rural Nebraska will gain the ability to subscribe to broadband services.
