Nebraska PSC Awards Second Round of CPF Grants for Broadband Buildout

The Nebraska Public Service Commission (PSC) approved an Order awarding a second round of Capital Projects Fund (CPF) grants designed to bring broadband to unserved and underserved areas of the state. The PSC received 60 applications for funding during the second round. As part of the grant review process, the Commission also received challenges from parities stating that they already served an area covered by a grant application, or that they plan to provide service to the area in the near future. Upon review of the applications and challenges received, the PSC determined 28 applications would be funded for a total of $30, 921.432. The awarded projects will bring broadband to approximately 1,640 unserved and 1,570 underserved locations.
