ICYMI: OBAE Receives Over $675 Million in Funding.

New Mexico will receive more than $675 million in federal funding to expand broadband access.

The funding was made available through the federal Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) program under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. By the end of the year, the state will submit a plan to the federal government detailing how the funding will be deployed around the state.

“We recognize that reliable high-speed internet access has become vital, enabling access to education, healthcare, employment opportunities, and essential government services,” said Kelly Schlegel, the Director of the Office of Broadband Access and Expansion. “This funding will help us serve so many of our unserved communities in rural New Mexico.”

Director Schlegel Attends White House Event

President Biden and Vice President Harris kicked off the next phase of Administration’s Investing in America tour with a significant high-speed internet infrastructure announcement from The White House.
