Connect Illinois Round 3
Friday, March 10 at 12 PM CT After originally launching in January 2022 only to pause for nearly one year for administrative rulemaking, Round 3 of the Connect Illinois Broadband Grant Program is reopening. The $350M round leverages a combination of state and federal American Rescue Plan Act funds to resume investment in broadband access expansion ahead of separate but complementary federal BEAD funding. Hear from Illinois Office of Broadband director Matt Schmit and his colleagues at the Illinois Broadband Lab regarding next steps for Round 3. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions during a Q and A following the presentation. Free and open to the public.
Registering for this even will generate a confirmation email with online meeting access information and ensure a webinar recording be emailed to you following the event. If you will need an accommodation in order to participate, please send a request to esarey@illinois.edu. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs. |
