Missouri is in the last leg of a major push by the government, private companies and nonprofits, including AARP, to extend high-speed internet access to every state resident. Missouri has allocated $261 million of its American Rescue Plan Act funding for broadband efforts. And, last year, the federal Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment Program awarded the state an additional $1.7 billion — the biggest public investment of its kind in Missouri to date.
AARP Missouri has partnered with the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Missouri Chapter to offer several events specifically for caregivers of someone diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia.
