The Idaho Broadband Advisory Board is requesting proposals from eligible entities on broadband infrastructure needs across the state of Idaho.
The information will be submitted in the form of a broadband infrastructure or planning project proposal.
Eligible entities include: Broadband service providers, Idaho nonprofit organizations, Limited liability companies, Cooperative entities, Political subdivisions and Idaho local or tribal governments.
Qualifying proposals should focus on expanding or extending middle mile and last mile infrastructure to connect unserved and underserved areas. Proposals should detail how planning funds will be used for local planning purposes to improve access to telehealth, remote work and more. If planning funds are needed for an organization, the Idaho Broadband Advisory Board is also looking for planning proposals as well.
Broadband infrastructure proposals are submitted with the acknowledgment that the submission in no way guarantees funding now or in the future. The Idaho Broadband Advisory Board will award funds pursuant to future grant guidelines and application criteria, in correlation with the statewide broadband plan.
The deadline to submit proposals is December 1, 2022 and can be submitted by mail or email.
