There's over a hundred billion dollars available through this administration to support broadband access access. The problem is it's not that easy for communities particularly rural communities or low capacity communities to access those funds so that's that's where the Just Transition Fund comes in. We act as an early stage investor to help communities access the federal capital capital they need to build out and access broadband infrastructure.
Heidi Binko, Executive Director of the Just Transition Fund, discusses how the dearth of tech infrastructure contributes to a lack of jobs in rural communities.
Hosts: Carol Massar and Matt Miller: Paul Brennan.
