Governor Tim Walz visited a broadband provider in Blue Earth Thursday to emphasize Minnesota’s progress in expanding access to broadband internet.

The State of Minnesota says it provided enough funding in 2023 to expand broadband to 46,000 Minnesota homes and businesses that didn’t previously have access.

“The momentum behind our work to expand high-speed broadband access across the state is connecting more Minnesotans to their jobs, their businesses, their health care, and their friends and family,” says Governor Walz.  “We’re helping our network of providers expand this critical infrastructure to thousands of homes and businesses, improving quality of life for Minnesotans, making businesses more competitive, and connecting folks to critical services.”
