Last Mile Federal Funding Account Grant Program Stakeholders,
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has awarded and recommended $1 billion for last mile broadband infrastructure grants across California as part of the Federal Funding Account, which expands broadband internet access for underserved and unserved communities. This includes over $800 million awarded to date and an additional $250+ million recommended for award before the end of the year (at the December 5 and December 19, 2024 Commission voting meetings). These investments benefit disadvantaged and low-income communities across the state.
The $1 billion+ in awards and recommendations includes 101 projects that will benefit almost 2 million Californians in 47 counties as of November 15, 2024.
