Webinar tomorrow at 1 ET on USDA rural broadband funds

The Rural Development office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture will host a free webinar at 1 p.m. ET on Dec. 18 to discuss USDA's ReConnect Program, which offers grants and loans to improve rural broadband buildout.

A second round of ReConnect funding was announced on Dec. 12. The USDA will provide up to $200 million in grants, $200 million in low-interest loans, and up to $200 million for 50/50 loan/grant combinations. Applications must be submitted by March 16.

In the hour-long webinar, Rural Development staff will go over types of funding, eligibility requirements, the application process, and more. They will also talk about the program requirements as outlined in the 2019 Funding Opportunity Announcement published on Dec. 12.
