On behalf of the Extension Broadband Team, we are excited to bring the workshop Getting Ready for Broadband Equity, Access, and Development (BEAD) Funding: Permitting, Engagement and Learning from the Experience.
By attending this workshop, you will gain a better understanding of the funding mechanism through the federal government (National Telecommunications and Information Administration), that is channeled to the state for broadband deployment in your community.
Who should attend?
- Elected officials, community leaders, staff, and volunteer committee members working on expanding access to broadband in their community.
- Organizations supporting broadband planning and expansion (school and library staff, regional economic development organizations, regional planning commissions, Extension educators, etc)
- Permitting authorities (WisDOT, DNR, Forest Service, Railroad, and more)
- Internet Service Providers
