Source information was obtained from the USDA ReConnect Public Searchable Database and standardized to align with Nebraska Public Service Commission (PSC) broadband project metadata schema conventions. Nebraska ReConnect awards were funded as 100% federal grants.The dataset is maintained by the PSC to support statewide broadband mapping, funding coordination, overlap review, reporting, and program administration activities. The layer is intended for administrative and planning purposes and does not represent final constructed service areas or certification of service availability.Dataset Source: https://www.rus-services.rd.usda.gov/s/public-searchable-database
