USDA Seeks Apps for $11.7 Million in Broadband Grants for Rural Areas [telecom]

By Laura Hamilton, CED, Tue, 04/19/2016

Rural areas need broadband access, but service providers can often find that it's not possible to make a financial go of it in some of these communities. The USDA's Community Connect program has invested $160 million in more than

240 projects to bring broadband to unserved rural communities since 2002.

The USDA announced yesterday it is soliciting applications for grants to establish broadband in unserved rural communities through its Community Connect program. It is administered by USDA's Rural Utilities Service and helps to fund broadband deployment into rural communities where it is not economically viable for private sector providers to provide service.
