Broadband expansion into rural areas of Louisiana is a major priority for the state House Commerce Committee.
During the committee's meeting on Monday, the Louisiana office of broadband development and connectivity, or ConnectLA, discussed Granting Unserved Municipalities Broadband Opportunities 1.0 and 2.0. Both are grant programs intended to improve internet connection for the underserved and unserved statewide.
