The U.S. Department of Treasury awarded $279 million to Pennsylvania for critical capital projects. In June 2022, the Pennsylvania General Assembly appropriated this funding to the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority (PBDA), which is using the funds to establish grant programs that identify eligible projects that meet program guidelines and federal requirements.

The CPF-Digital Connectivity Technology Program (Technology) is one of the three funding programs created by PBDA to help deploy these funds in communities across Pennsylvania. PBDA anticipates the program opening in early March/April 2025, and will accept applications for 60 days.

Submissions must be made through the Electronic Single Application (ESA). Program guidelines and additional details and FAQs are available on the CPF-Digital Connectivity Technology Program (Technology) page.

PBDA will send an email notification once the program opens. To be added to the distribution list please email [email protected].
