"St. Louis Broadband's Project will serve rural residents throughout the region that do not have access to broadband services.  The project would serve 10 counties, including 3 persistent poverty counties, within Southeast Missouri with 116 microwave towers in an area where few exist. In addition, it would also provide a microwave link dedicated primarily to the company's public safety network.  The lack of broadband access is hindering the educational attainment, economic development, jobs creation and safety needs in the region."

           ~U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill

 

"St. Louis Broadband's project will serve ten counties in Southeast Missouri, including three counties that have experienced continuous poverty.  The project will construct 116 Microwave towers in an area that is lacking this vital technology, promoting the health and safety of our communities."

"The work covered under this application will create more than 800 jobs in the Eighth Congressional District, and the resulting expansion of service will be connected to our public safety network.  The necessity of this project is doubled by the fact that this area is located on the edge of a major fault line called the New Madrid Fault.  The potential for a catastrophic earthquake on this region is well-documented and real- the existence of connectivity will be essential during any major disaster response."

~U.S. Congresswoman Jo Ann Emerson
