Coronavirus relief funds to finance broadband projects in rural Oregon ($20 Million) and Idaho ($50 Million)
Oregon’s Legislative Emergency Board has allocated $20 million in federal coronavirus relief funding to expand broadband internet availability in rural areas of the state.
Half of the $20 million will go to projects in regions that have no broadband internet access. It will be distributed through the Rural Broadband Capacity Program, which is managed by
Business Oregon, the state’s economic development agency.
*******************
Idaho has designated $50 million of its federal coronavirus relief money to improve Idaho’s broadband capacity. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act allows the use of relief funds to improve or provide broadband access because of its necessity during remote education, stay-home or quarantine conditions.
