The BEAD program is one part of the “Internet for All” initiative, the goal of which is to provide affordable, reliable, high-speed internet service to every American.
This program will give money to cities and regional groups to build small- or medium-sized waste management systems either in their entirety or as part of a bigger project.
The program supports landowners and other entities in conserving, restoring and protecting wetlands, productive agricultural lands and grasslands at risk of being converted to other uses.Â
These projects are designed to protect water resources, stimulate local economies, and generate over 60,000 well-paying jobs – all at a reduced cost.
Applications are encouraged from organizations that assist innovative technology-focused and high-growth companies in developing, testing and implementing emerging technologies.
