Consolidated Has Won Over $200 Million in Broadband Funding, $51M in New Hampshire

Consolidated Communications has won over $200 million in broadband funding, said the company’s vice president of market development, Sarah Davis. Most of the broadband funding that Consolidated has received was for New England, where the company is a major provider, Davis said. The company is currently gearing up to bid for funding in the $42.5 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program in several states that it serves, she added. Consolidated’s latest win was $11.8 million through New Hampshire’s Broadband Matching Grant Initiative (BMGI) Program. The company will contribute an additional $7.7 million to cover total project costs of $19.5 million. The company previously was awarded $40 million through New Hampshire’s Broadband Contract Program.
