The Middle Mile for Rural America Act is designed to facilitate the expansion of middle mile infrastructure into underserved rural regions across the United States. This legislation achieves its primary goal by amending a specific section of the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 . The amendment specifically targets Section 602(g) of the Act, which governs relevant programs. It revises the timeframe for these programs, changing the previously established years of 2018 through 2023 to a new period spanning 2026 through 2031 , thereby ensuring continued support for rural connectivity initiatives.
