Washington County issued the following announcement on March 30.
The Washington County Board of Commissioners has allocated $2 million for investments in broadband within Washington County, and cities, townships and broadband providers are invited to apply for the funds.
Applicants may apply through a website portal on the county’s website.
The Broadband Grant Program will provide one-to-one matching grant funding to cities, townships, and broadband providers for the expansion of high-speed broadband. Eligible project areas include any unserved or underserved area within Washington County. An unserved or underserved household or business is one that is not currently serviced by a wireline connection that delivers reliable broadband service with a minimum speed of 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload.
See more information on this program on a fact sheet.
Completed projects must allow enrollment in a low-income subsidy program. Recipients may use the funds to cover limited costs incurred for eligible projects going forward from now. Applications are accepted on a first-come first-serve basis.
