Here is the link to our July edition of the Mid-MO Current which is our quarterly newsletter that highlights how the Mid-Missouri Regional Planning Commission staff is assisting our communities. 

Mid-MO RPC staff attended the Broadband Leaders Academy hosted by the Missouri Department of Economic Development (DED) and the Department of Agriculture in partnership with the Hawthorn Foundation. Tim Arbeiter, Director of Broadband Development for DED, moderated the event.

The conference brought together broadband internet stakeholders, both public and private, to learn about the new sources of funding and technical assistance available to expand access for rural communities, and to brainstorm new ideas and discuss success stories from companies, utility cooperatives and cities that have recently expanded broadband access.

According to the FEC’s most current data, fully 20% of Missourians are unserved with no meaningful access to highspeed/broadband internet services, and as many as 50% of Missouri’s residents are underserved meaning they have connections that are slower than 10 megabits per second download speed and 1-megabit upload. In this increasingly digital age, the lack of access to broadband is a major impediment to improving the health, wealth, and wellbeing of Missourians.
