Application window for BEAD will close Oct. 28
Oct, 22, 2024 - Colorado’s broadband office issued a warning on Monday to potential grant recipients that the application window for federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program funding is closing within a week.
Colorado’s window for grant applications under the Biden administration’s $42.45 billion BEAD program is set to close Oct. 28, after having been open for more than six weeks.
The window, which opened Sept. 12, is unlikely to be extended, according to the Colorado Broadband Office. The office cited the strict timelines and requirements set forth by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration as notable constraints. NTIA, based in the Commerce Department, is running the BEAD program for the Biden administration.
