The start of a process to drive out a large amount of money in Pennsylvania’s broadband expansion program is underway. This involves spending the $1.16 billion in federal money available to Pennsylvania through the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program to deliver broadband and connect an estimated 300,000 households to the internet. The Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority (PBDA) announced Friday that an initial 60-day round of applications for the funding will run through Jan. 21, 2025. A second round for applications will be held next year. The Shapiro administration said Pennsylvania will become the 10th state to accept BEAD applications. “My administration is moving quickly to solicit applications and drive out this historic funding, so we can extend high-speed, affordable internet all across our Commonwealth by the end of this decade,” said Gov. Josh Shapiro. Click here to read more.
