Posts - Bill - HR 2817 Coastal Broadband Deployment Act
house 04/10/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to streamline the deployment and upgrade of communications facilities located entirely within floodplains by exempting these projects from certain environmental and historical preservation reviews. This aims to speed up improving broadband access without the delays of additional federal approvals.

This bill reads like 'Let’s bulldoze safety and history for faster internet'—because who needs a planet anyway?

Maybe we can have smart infrastructure without leaving common sense blowing away in the floodwaters.

Faster broadband is great, but not on the backs of our environment and heritage—there’s got to be a balance.

Less paperwork, more progress—build the communications we need before the floodwaters take too long to show up.
