Louisiana to invest $1.36bn in federal grant program GUMBO 2.0, expanding high-speed internet access across the state.
Louisiana plans to invest $1.36 billion in a federal grant program to bring high-speed internet to every community across the state, aiming to transform its economy and enable rural residents to participate in the digital economy. The initiative, known as GUMBO 2.0, builds upon the previous GUMBO 1.0 program, which has an 88% completion rate. The program is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and must allocate all funds to specific projects by the end of the year, with construction expected to begin next spring.
