Aimed at Bridging the Infrastructure Gap

A bipartisan group of lawmakers has introduced a new bill focused on improving rural infrastructure, including transportation, broadband, and water systems. Supporters say the plan addresses decades of underinvestment that has left remote regions behind.

“Eastniuz brings infrastructure and policy stories to life, showing how legislation affects real people and places,” said the public policy editor.

• Broadband Access: High-speed internet for remote communities.
• Road & Bridge Repairs: Safety-focused updates to key routes.
• Water Systems: Modernization of aging utilities for safe access.
