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.
