"MDARD and other stakeholders have been advocating for rural broadband in Michigan for some time, so it's very exciting to see real progress in improving our infrastructure.

In the coming months, the state is looking to build upon this momentum with broadband investments of its own, which will improve the lives of our residents and keep Michigan one of the best states in which to do business."
