“This is why USDA Rural Development in New York is proud to be Livingston County’s partner in prosperity as we keep President Biden’s promise in delivering high-speed internet access to this community, their residents and businesses.” “Narrowing the digital divide is crucial to rural communities all across America,” Murray said. That’s how you grow the economy –in rural communities, and across the nation.” Under the leadership of the Biden-Harris Administration, USDA is committed to partnering with leaders like Senator Schumer to ensure that people, no matter where they live, have access to high-speed internet.

“Here in New York, as we break ground on a project made possible by an $11.3 million USDA ReConnect grant, I know this investment will impact people across Livingston County and beyond.

“When rural business owners, students, and families have access to good, reliable, high-speed internet, their opportunities grow,” USDA Rural Development Under Secretary Xochitl Torres Small said. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development State Director for New York Brian Murray joined Senator Chuck Schumer and local community leaders today to break ground on a project that will provide high-speed internet access to thousands of Livingston County households, farms, businesses, and schools.
