Delaware Gets Its $107 Million in BEAD Cash
It became the second state to get necessary NTIA approval, one day after Louisiana reached the milestone.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14, 2025 – Delaware became the second state in the nation Tuesday to get its federal broadband spending plan approved, the final step before getting money out the door.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration greenlit the plan, which would spend $17.4 million to reach about 5,700 locations. In total, the state was allocated $107 million—just over the statutory minimum—under the $42.45 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program.
“Today, Delaware can begin building the networks to ensure that people throughout the state can get connected. Congratulations to Delaware on this terrific achievement for its workers, businesses, communities, and families,” Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said in a statement.
