Jobs on farms, not abroad | csmonitor.com
From the article:
The Department of Agriculture has handed out more than $800 million in low-interest loans for broadband expansion nationwide, a portion of which went to Virginia.
Why USDA? Here's the department's website about Rural broadband grants:
USDA Rural Development Grants
From that page:
This all-encompassing connectivity concept will give small, rural communities a chance to benefit from the advanced technologies that are necessary to foster economic growth, provide quality education and health care opportunities, and increase and enhance public safety efforts.
What other government department send money to unexpected places? I'm just curious....but I'm starting to sound kind of conservative.
