PLEASE JOIN US FOR A CONFERENCE CALL ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY

The New Hampshire Municipal Association (NHMA) has partnered with the National Collaborative for Digital Equity (NCDE), founded and based in New Hampshire, to help communities that are interested in using Local and Fiscal Recovery Funds (LFRF) to improve broadband.
NHMA and NCDE are working together to bring interested members the opportunity to join an NHMA/NCDE broadband planning network, to undertake broadband investment planning together. To learn more about this opportunity, we invite you to a conference call scheduled for Wednesday September 22, 1pm – 2:30pm to learn more details about the program. (We expect the call to last an hour but have allotted 90 minutes, if needed, for questions and to brainstorm.)

Overview of the Broadband Planning Network

NCDE proposes that interested members allocate to NCDE $10,000 of their municipality’s ARPA Local Relief Funds to join the broadband investment planning network, whose priorities will be to: (1) assist the participating municipalities to develop one or more joint broadband investment funding proposals, (2) design investment plans to support for-profit and nonprofit business models that incorporate affordable pricing (<$15/month) for low- and moderate-income households; (3) assist participating municipalities to become “Broadband Ready” communities while developing NHMA’s capability to provide this support as an ongoing support to members generally; and (4) other broadband projects as deemed fundable.
