West Virginians who want to weigh in on the state’s final proposal for Broadband, Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) funding have until next Tuesday.
The proposal spells out the state’s plans for distribution of $625 million in federal funding – roughly half the amount originally earmarked for West Virginia.
The program aims to expand access to high-speed internet nationwide. Under the Trump administration it went through restructuring designed to remove red tape and put less priority on the environmental impact of projects. Gov. Patrick Morrisey said the project is a “big deal” that will bring jobs and transformational change to the state.
“We went in very early and worked closely with the Trump administration to get near the front of the line, and right now we’re about the third fastest here in the country in terms of getting our applications in,” Morrisey said.
Public comments will be accepted on West Virginia’s BEAD funding proposal through 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 26. The draft Final Proposal is available here. Comments may be submitted through the web form found here.
