The Authority has been awarded a grant from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) under the State Broadband Data and Development Grant Program (SBDD). The $1.8 million grant was awarded in two parts: $1.35 million over two years for a comprehensive broadband mapping and inventory project and $436,000 over five years for planning activities. We have a contract in place for the mapping piece and that project is in progress. This RFP is for the planning piece of the grant award.
