The Facilities Grant Program, administered through the Treasury Department, is awarding grant funding to support the expansion of broadband accessibility in public centers
National Telecommunications and Information Administration is overseeing distribution of $42.45 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to all 50 states, Washington, D.C, and five territories to deliver high-speed internet
Funds will help entities in the state construct or improve community buildings for internet access, purchase and install broadband equipment, and loan out Wi-Fi-enabled devices to those without access
Program prioritizes projects that deliver high-speed internet to areas that previously did not have broadband access. Each state and territory must create proposals that detail plans for statewide broadband
Oregon will use its CPF allocation to fund a competitive grant program supporting last-mile broadband infrastructure in areas with insufficient internet access.
