DES MOINES, Iowa - Governor Kim Reynolds has announced $1.3 million dollars in grant funding to improve broadband access for people in targeted areas where service is limited. Broadband is a challenge in many rural parts of the state where it is more sparsely populated and tech companies are unable to profit from the investment it takes to install and operate the networks.
