34 Policy Outlook for Rural Tennessee after Statewide Elections 34
35 May 2018 Vanderbilt Poll: Top 3 Priorities for TN State Gov t 35
36 May 2018 Vanderbilt Poll: Most Think the State Gov t Largely Ignores the Needs of Tennessee s Rural Communities 36
37 What are Some Key Policy Recommendations for Newly Elected State Leaders? Prioritize the needs of rural communities that are not reaping the benefits of the state s economic growth by implement policies aimed at closing the rural-urban health and economic gaps. Chronic Disease: Investing $10 per person in community-based chronic disease prevention programs would save the state $351 million over 5 years, a return of almost $6 for every $1 invested. Expand statewide policies and programs like the Tennessee Livability Collaborative to facilitate physical activity andaccess to healthy foods. 37
38 What are Some Key Policy Recommendations for Newly Elected State Leaders? Prioritize the needs of rural communities that are not reaping the benefits of the state s economic growth by implement policies aimed at closing the rural-urban health and economic gaps. Broadband: State leaders have an important role to play in convening and enabling communities to create their own pathways to deploy reliable and affordable broadband infrastructure. Prioritize the funding of broadband infrastructure that can be shared among multiple service providers, instead of limiting funding to one private provider per community. Incentivize broadband infrastructure deployment and service provision competition through a Dig Once policy, a proven cost- and time-efficient approach for the deployment of fiber infrastructure. Remove restrictions on municipal electrics and electric cooperatives to provide broadband internet inside and outside their services areas, either independently or through public-private partnerships. 38
