Governor Laura Kelly announced the Freestate Middle Mile Network's groundbreaking, aimed at improving Kansas' digital infrastructure and connectivity. Funded by a $43 million federal grant from the NTIA, the network will focus on expanding high-speed internet access, particularly in rural areas, while promoting local economic growth and ensuring the effective use of federal funds within the state. Local officials emphasize this project's potential to enhance community services, public safety, and overall quality of life for residents.
The Freestate Middle Mile Network, which is publicly funded and publicly owned, showcases our state's financial stewardship and strategic approach to improving the digital landscape.
Broadband expansion is a critical piece of connectivity to improve quality of life and economic prosperity in our communities.
