About Us

The Arkansas State Broadband Office, called ARConnect, is located within the division of Arkansas Economic Development Commission in the Department of Commerce.  The Broadband Office manages the Arkansas Rural Connect Broadband Grant Program.  Our goal is to get broadband out to as many unserved or underserved Arkansans in rural communities.  This is the Governor’s plan for Arkansas.
