Kansas Launches Capital Project Fund Broadband Infrastructure Program

The Capital Project Fund program was developed to bring broadband infrastructure that will deliver speeds that meet or exceed symmetrical speeds of 100 Mbps to unserved areas across Kansas.  All locations within the census blocks being served and funded through this program will be required to adhere to minimum speeds listed above.  Fiber-optic infrastructure projects that focus on achieving last-mile connections will be prioritized. Middle mile will be funded only if required for the last-mile build. The Capital Project Fund program is intended to address the following priorities:

• Broadband infrastructure deployment designed to directly enable work, education, and healthcare monitoring
• Address a critical need that resulted from or was made apparent or exacerbated by the COVID-19 public health emergency
• Address a critical need of the community to be served by it

The Capital Project Fund: Broadband Infrastructure Program will be opened on July 25, 2022
