Deadline for CPF Applications Extended
We have extended the deadline for submitting applications for the Advance Colorado Broadband Capital Projects Fund Grant Program (Advance-CPF) to Sept. 22 at 11:59 p.m. Colorado has $162 million to award for broadband infrastructure projects. Visit the Advance-CPF website for information and guidelines.
Broadband Fund Applications Received
The Broadband Deployment Board’s Summer 2023 Grant Cycle application window closed on July 15. The Broadband Fund received 12 applications requesting over $13.6M dollars to provide broadband access to more than 3K addresses across the state. The period for reviewing applications and submitting comments runs until Wednesday, Aug. 30. Please review the Summer 2023 Grant Cycle Timeline for more information on upcoming meetings.
Statewide Digital Equity Survey Available
Colorado’s Digital Equity team opened the Colorado Digital Equity Survey to better understand and measure Coloradans’ internet experiences. Please take the survey and share it with your network. Survey results will support the development of a state Digital Access Plan so the state can bridge its digital divide.
Broadband Fund Critically Unserved Map Published
The Broadband Deployment Board has allocated 30% of the State High Cost Support Mechanism (HCSM) funds for critically unserved areas across the state of Colorado. The Broadband Fund, in conjunction with CBO’s mapping team, published the critically unserved map on Friday, July 21 for public review. Applicants have until Aug. 30 to modify their application’s address lists should they choose to do so.
There is still a chance to join the CBO at the Summer Roadshow. We’ve added two new dates in August:
- August 21 at 3 p.m. – Region 13 - 1012 Front Loop, Buena Vista
- August 23 at 10 a.m. - Region 5 - 477 D Ave., Limon
To request the attendance of a CBO staff member at your meeting or event, please email us at oit_broadband@state.co.us or visit our website to contact your region’s project manager.
