On March 1st, Missouri Governor Eric Greitens announced a rural growth plan that will focus on bringing rural broadband to Missouri. In the Governor’s proposal, $45 Million of the unexpected federal funding will be invested specifically for rural broadband to bring high-speed internet to every business and home in Missouri. $1M of these funds would be used for a comprehensive mapping project to produce a total cost estimate.  Governor Greitens also proposed a Rural Broadband Matching Fund that would provide grants to match private investments for new broadband infrastructure.

Finley Engineering has more than 65 years of experience working with communities on telecom and broadband projects.  The goal is the same: find the optimal path to bring high-speed broadband to your community. We provide an approach that is unique. We pay attention to the goal of your project, the internal parameters and outside forces, to create solutions uniquely for each project.
