WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) â With an infrastructure vote coming up next week, one congressional representative is hearing from local Wisconsinites.
Congress returns from its Fourth of July recess next week and will get to work on discussing and trying to pass a Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework. Part of that infrastructure framework agreement includes $65 billion for broadband infrastructure, an issue that Marathon County has been working on for the past 15 years.
To get insight on what those issues have been in expanding broadband infrastructure in the area, Senator Tammy Baldwin held a roundtable with nearly a dozen people from various professions and areas around Marathon County. Those involved in the roundtable shared their frustrations and hope for broadband in the area that could be helped by the new infrastructure agreement.
