Hello,

Attached is announcement information for the new Rural Broadband Capacity Pilot Program. The Governor's Office has allocated $500,000 for grant(s) of up to a total of $500,000 from the Strategic Reserve Fund to be available for the support of broadband planning, engineering, and/or infrastructure deployment projects targeting rural and underserved populations (areas that do not have broadband service available at the current FCC designation of 25 million bits per second (Mbps) downstream and 3 Mbps upstream, excluding satellite service).

Business Oregon will administer the Rural Broadband Capacity Pilot Program and will provide financial support in the form of grant(s) of up to a cumulative total of $500,000 for projects that will increase the availability and utilization of broadband infrastructure and services.  Please see the attached announcement and interest response form for more information.

Thank you for your interest.
