Wisconsin will direct 100-million dollars in federal funds to broadband expansion.
The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) will launch a round of broadband expansion funding in two weeks with dollars from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Governor Tony Evers says this batch of federal funds will follow U.S. Treasury guidelines to help connect unserved and underserved areas and will also focus on low population areas and connecting the last mile. Evers says funding will be awarded by the PSC based on their successful Broadband Expansion Grant Program model.
