Second Funding Opportunity

A second funding opportunity for high-speed rural internet is available, and it has several new changes from the first go-around.  If you are a tribal government or an ANC, the earlier financial share element has been lifted.  It is no cost.  There is also a monthly payment to households to help pay for service.

This will be the last major funding opportunity from the federal government, so if you are interested, read on and visit the link below: 

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that USDA is now accepting applications for ReConnect Program loans and grants to expand access to high-speed internet for millions of people in rural America nationwide. The Department is making more than $1 billion available, thanks to President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
