For Immediate Release
PSC APPROVES ADDITIONAL GRANT THROUGH
NEBRASKA BROADBAND BRIDGE PROGRAM
Lincoln, February 1, 2022 – On Tuesday, February 1,
the Nebraska Public Service Commission (PSC) approved
an Order (C-5272) for an additional $1,445,692.07 in
grant funding for the 2021 Nebraska Broadband Bridge
Program (NBBP) funding year.
The grant funding was approved for Glenwood
Telecommunications, Inc., for a project located in Fillmore
County. The applicant was allowed to reapply to the
Commission as a result of a partial challenge of the
project area during the initial 2021 grant process.
PSC staff reviewed the resubmitted grant for the Fillmore
County Project and found that the application as modified
met all necessary criteria for approval of funding during the
2021 NBBP grant program year. The remaining $574,660.91
in grant funding from the 2021 NBBP will be added to the
$20 million available in the 2022 NBBP grant cycle.
A detailed list of approved projects and funding amounts
can be found on the Nebraska Broadband Bridge Program
(NBBP) page of the PSC website. ###
