Broadband Infrastructure Gap Networks Grant Program | NEMC Broadband Infrastructure Gap Networks Grant Program Solicitation No. 2024-MBI-01 The Commonwealth of Massachusetts (“the Commonwealth) is making up to $145 million in Capital Projects Funds (“CPF”) available through the Broadband Infrastructure Gap Networks Grant Program (“Gap Networks Grant Program” or the “Program”), to address the critical digital needs of towns and cities, with a particular focus on communities with substantial low-income households and disadvantaged populations.
The Program will fund the deployment of broadband infrastructure in areas that currently lack access to sufficient broadband internet service, defined as service offering download speeds of at least 100 Mbps and upload speeds of at least 20 Mbps. The Commonwealth is building upon prior, successful investments of state funds to expand broadband availability.
However, there are locations in towns and cities throughout the Commonwealth still lack affordable and reliable high-speed internet. The United States Treasury’s CPF Program provides a transformative opportunity for the Commonwealth to deploy federal broadband infrastructure funding to connect the unconnected and provide access to those residents that need it the most.
All projects must reach substantial completion before December 31, 2026. Substantial completion is reached when the Project can fulfill the primary operations that it was designed to perform and deliver services to end-users. At substantial completion, service and management systems infrastructure must be operational.
