Making a Compelling State Grant Application

With the passage of the historic Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and combined with existing federal and state programs, there is approximately $100 billion available for broadband capital projects. Most of this money will be managed at the State-level through grant and loan programs which are designed to meet their unique state goals. For a broadband provider to compete for these unprecedented funds, they must create a compelling business case and grant application that will demonstrate the greatest ROI against state broadband plans. Our panel of experts have deep expertise designing federal and state broadband grant programs, creating compelling business cases that demonstrate the economic impact of a holistic broadband infrastructure design, and a demonstrated track record of putting together winning grant applications. Join this panel to hear what the key elements of an infrastructure project and grant application are that will create a compelling and competitive grant application.
