Funding opportunity: Federal broadband grant
There is about $5.1 million available, and tribal applications will be prioritized
The Washington Public Works Board is administering federal broadband grant funding under the Coronavirus Capital Project Broadband Construction Program from the U.S. Treasury. Applications
will open March 31, and close on June 1. The application link will be made available on the PWB webpage <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.commerce.wa.gov%2Fpwb%2F/1/0101019d26e99f

PWB has about $5.1 million available in this funding round, with a maximum of $2 million for an individual project. Tribes interested in expanding broadband infrastructure in their communities
will be prioritized, then local governments. Projects in distressed communities or areas identified as Indian country may receive up to $5 million.
Eligible projects should deliver service that reliably meets or exceeds symmetrical upload and download speeds of 100 Mbps. There might be exceptions based on geography, topography or
excessive costs. Awarded applicants must be substantially complete and operational and expend all funds by Dec. 31, 2026.

The PWB will host application workshops. Registration is not required.

About PWB
The Washington State Public Works Board was created by the Legislature in 1985. Since its creation, the 13-member board has provided more than $3.6 billion to over 2,300 infrastructure
projects across the state. The purpose of the board is to encourage self-reliance by local governments in meeting their public works needs and to assist in the financing of critical
public works projects by making loans, grants, financing guarantees, and technical assistance available to local governments for these projects. For more information, visit our webpage
