The state of Pennsylvania has over $1.1 billion in BEAD funding to support rural broadband expansion, focusing on unserved and underserved areas.
Eligible applicants must submit their requests for funding by January 21. A secondary round of funding application is likely next year.
In evaluating applications, Pennsylvania will use separate criteria for fiber and non-fiber broadband projects, awarding up to 100 points for each.
The criteria for fiber projects include program outlay, affordability, fair labor practices, speed to deployment, and workforce development.
