President Biden’s plans for improving energy and infrastructure coincide with furthering the economic development of our nation. Improving internet connectivity and access to broadband in rural areas is a relevant and heavily considered strategy to spur economic development across the United States.

On Thursday, February 4th from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (ET), REMI CEO & Chief Economist Frederick Treyz, Ph.D. & Business Development Representative Alexandra Burelbach will be hosting “Broadband Expansion and Rural Economic Development,” our upcoming webinar that explores the Biden administration’s plans for investing in broadband.

During this presentation, Dr. Treyz and Ms. Burelbach will demonstrate the economic impact of federally-backed broadband expansion. Using the REMI PI+ model, they will estimate the potential economic impact of broadband expansion on rural economies.
