Today, Congresswoman Cheri Bustos (IL-17) announced more than $6.6 million in grants and loans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to support the expansion of broadband and improvements to drinking water infrastructure in Jo Daviess, Rock Island and Henry Counties. The investments reflect Congresswoman Bustos' and the Biden-Harris Administration's commitment to Building a Better America by investing in rural communities.

"Since day one, I've been focused on bringing federal resources back to our communities -- from our largest cities to our smallest villages," said Congresswoman Bustos. "I'm thrilled to announce today that three counties in Northwest and Central Illinois will be receiving more than $6.6 million in grants and loans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to expand high-speed internet access and improve drinking water infrastructure for our residents and businesses. This is how we build back better."
