Funding

ARPA broadband deployment is comprised of 602 State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds and 604 Capital Projects Funds. During the 68th legislative session (i.e., LC 1234) a shift of $44,148,748 of 602 funds to this program was passed by an appropriation change. The State has applied to Treasury but has not yet been awarded the $119.9M of 604 funds. Total funding for grant awards is anticipated to increase from $266M to approximately $310M, but the timing of this funding is to be determined.
