In an email this morning, the Washington State Broadband Office announced final approval of BEAD Project Areas:
The Washington State Broadband Office (WSBO) posted updated BEAD construction project area maps today detailing unserved and underserved locations across the state. These maps will provide a foundation as we work to achieve Internet for All in Washington.
“Thank you to everyone who participated in the Challenge Process and helped us reach this major milestone for Washington’s Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program (BEAD). These maps will guide us as we work to bring high-speed internet to everyone impacted by the digital divide. Only locations identified as unserved or underserved will be eligible for BEAD funding.”
