Osage Nation Gets Funding for Broadband Expansion
Ty Loftis
The Osage Nation has received a boost in funding to expand high speed broadband infrastructure in rural parts of the Osage Nation. They received just over $17.5 million through the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service ReConnect Program. The Osage Nation broadband infrastructure investment is now more than $72 million.
In a press release, Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear had the following to say on the expanded internet access across the reservation:
"It reflects the hard work and dedication of our Osage Nation team, whose efforts made this opportunity possible. I am deeply grateful for their commitment and proud of what this funding will allow us to achieve for our communities."
Funding from this will mostly go toward broadband infrastructure development.
