New PBDA website

The PBDA is excited to announce the launch of the new Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority website. For the past few months, the PBDA has been working diligently to design a website that offers a more intuitive and visually appealing experience for its visitors. 

BEAD Challenge Webinar

The PBDA will be hosting a live webinar on the BEAD Challenge process Friday March 29, 2024 from 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM. This meeting will be recorded and posted on the PBDA website in the coming days following the webinar. Additionally we will be hosting three Office Hour sessions in mid-April. Office Hour sessions will provide a brief recap of the process but will allow the majority of the time to be open dialogue to answer any questions and provide clarity around the BEAD Challenge process.

Following the live webinar and Office Hour sessions we will develop an FAQ that will be posted to our website.
