President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Empowers the Department of Commerce to Deliver for Rural America President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) will deliver billions to rural communities across the country to create economic opportunity. Supporting Americans living in rural areas remains a top priority for the Biden Administration, and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law delivers on the President’s promises to provide high-speed internet, safe roads and bridges, modern wastewater systems, clean drinking water, reliable and affordable electricity, climate data and information and good-paying jobs in every small town and rural community. As part of this effort, the Biden Administration is also committed to working with communities to help them access federal resources and improving transparency and trust in the federal government.
The Department of Commerce will lead this effort focusing on expanding rural broadband. This fact sheet provides information for rural communities to know all the available resources under the infrastructure law, where to apply, or how find more information.
