Louisiana Still Expects to Be First to Award BEAD Broadband Funds
Briefly

"Our maps were federally approved several months ago. The risk you run if you don't have these maps approved in advance is that down the road NTIA could say, 'Hey, some of your challenges that you submitted are incorrect.' This could impact project areas, requiring a lot of rework and adjustments to the application process that could delay broadband access for those in need."
"We took several key actions on July 1, releasing project areas and launching the pre-qualification process that cleared 33 broadband providers to apply for funding. This proactive approach really streamlined our operations and helped make the application process smoother for everybody involved."
