Magellan Advisors Can Assist Every Step of the Way

The U.S. Department of the Treasury released its final rules for eligible broadband infrastructure funding established under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Treasury’s final rules encourage broadband projects built by local governments, co-ops and non-profits. New broadband projects should focus on remediating the lack of access to affordable, reliable high-speed broadband to support the ongoing economic and social needs of communities. Fiber deployments and projects that will achieve last-mile connectivity are also encouraged, as well as funds for modernizing cybersecurity for existing and new broadband networks. The final rule also provides funds for network equipment, planning and engineering costs, as well as end user devices and equipment, such as routers and personal computers.

The final rule takes effect April 1 and includes a few new requirements for project qualifications and deadlines so communities must act quickly.
