Broadband infrastructure investments promise access to high-speed internet connections for nearly 15,000 Washington households

 The Washington State Broadband Office has awarded over $121 million in grants for 19 broadband construction projects that will deliver reliable, high-speed internet access to unserved and underserved communities across the state. Demand for the grants exceeded available funds by 261% – 50 different projects requested more than $316 million. The funding is part of the state’s investment in the federal Coronavirus Capital Project Fund (CPF) and continues the Washington Legislature’s commitment to connecting communities with little or no reliable, affordable broadband service.
