How to get rural American communities back in fighting shape

How do you bring a rural community that has been left behind back to life? In this American Thinker op-ed, Bob Hellman argues that private infrastructure investment holds the answer.

The American Infrastructure Partners CEO contends that private investors can deliver the services rural towns most need but that traditional funding models have failed to provide, including broadband connectivity through fixed-wireless towers, telehealth access, and mobile banking. By financing both the digital and physical infrastructure these areas lack, Hellman argues, private capital can reconnect isolated communities to healthcare, jobs, and financial services, and help restore the economic vitality and opportunity that decades of underinvestment have drained away.
