(U.S. Senate) – Montana Senator Jon Tester has secured major funding to bring internet throughout the state.
As a result of his Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), U.S. Senator Jon Tester secured $5,000,000 in funding for the state of Montana to plan and prepare for high-speed internet expansion and implementation throughout the state.
The funding can be used for data collection, public outreach, employee training, and broadband mapping – and ultimately must result in the completion of a five-year high-speed internet deployment plan in 2023 in order for the state to receive its full allocation.
