THIS MORNING: @NC_Governor speaks at the @NCRuralCenter #RuralSummit2023. NC is making transformative investments in clean water infrastructure and high-speed internet to help our rural communities continue to grow and thrive. #ncpol

@NCRuralCenter will be highlighting our @RuralCounts legislative priorities and potential solutions over the next two days! These priorities were established in partnership with rural communities across the state. #RuralSummit

Nearly 624,000 N.C. households have signed up for the @FCC's Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) for a $30/month discount on internet service. Some providers also offer a $30/month package, so you pay $0 when combined with ACP. Learn more & apply at https://t.co/MehppZ7kv9

Why rural matters? Reason 1: NC has the 2nd largest number of rural schools in the country. Reason 2: Prioritizing rural education is critical—rural schools matter! -Dr Kristen Cuthrell @ECU_COE #RuralSummit2022 @NCRuralCenter @RuralCounts

Dear @ncidea: Thank you for helping us start riding the wave of Latino entrepreneurship in #WilmingtonNC.

Even our friends at the @NCRuralCenter had the chance to share North Carolina's New Small Business Plan and what it means to @NewHanoverCo's Latino entrepreneurs.
