The plan includes investments in the state’s pandemic response to expand broadband and build infrastructure and to help families, workers, small businesses, and communities across the state. Breaking it down, $50 million will go toward the tourism industry and $600 million will help support businesses and the We’re All In small business grant program. Evers is proposing $200 million be invested in infrastructure that includes broadband services and $500 million be invested in statewide pandemic response.
