Rural Development

Internet almost equals electricity in importance these days, and many rural areas across the United States lack options for high-speed internet. This digital divide threatens to further alienate rural communities from the rest of the country in terms of technological advancement, economic growth, and overall quality of life. It’s imperative to empower electric cooperatives and other broadband providers to provide access to the plans, tools, and resources necessary for bringing fiber to their towns.

That’s where we step in. Our goal is to stimulate rural communities’ economic growth by bridging the gap and bringing broadband to underserved areas.

Heritage cares about the communities we serve. Many of us here at Heritage grew up in or currently live in rural communities. We understand firsthand how a small town’s heritage and culture get emboldened by the prospect of accessing fiber internet. It changes everything.
