NAR Letter to Congressional Leadership Regarding increased COVID-19 Broadband Infrastructure Relief

 

On May 11, NAR sent a letter to Speaker Pelosi, Leader McCarthy, Leader McConnell, and Leader Schumer. The letter expresses NAR’s support for increased investment in broadband infrastructure and services. The COVID-19 outbreak has created an unprecedented need for reliable and affordable high-speed Internet. REALTORS^® support a comprehensive national policy to stimulate the deployment of broadband, increase data speeds and lower broadband prices, particularly in underserved areas of the U.S. As Congress continues to work to craft legislation responding to this national emergency, NAR urges support of policies that ensure everyone has broadband internet — especially at a time when our communication tools have never been more critical.
