The state of Oregon has $689 million to award for eligible BEAD projects, and a 25% match is required of all projects.
According to the announcement, most locations served by this round of Oregon broadband grants are unserved.
Several updates issued this month suggest how potent the BEAD Program’s impact could be for various states.
This funding will be used to improve broadband service for 881 Oregon locations and help with projects in two counties.
The Oregon broadband funding came through the federal Capital Projects Fund. The state received applications requesting $445M.
The Oregon Broadband Office award decisions will be based on a scoring system that offers 10 points for every unserved location.
