Arizona Broadband Development Grant Program
The Arizona Broadband Development Grant Program (ABDG) enables local communities to construct or improve broadband infrastructure. The historic $100 million investment builds on the progress of recent years and strengthens communities’ capacity and competitiveness for economic growth. The ABDG is intended to bridge the digital divide and enhance the connectivity for Arizona’s citizens, businesses, healthcare institutions, government establishments and education sector.
Grants serve both rural and urban parts of the state, and will reimburse costs associated with activities directly related to the construction, installation or improvement of broadband infrastructure.
ABDG program applications are closed.
