The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) launched its latest effort to provide high-speed broadband to Minnesota.
DEED recently released a Request for Proposals (RFP), which will award $50 million in broadband grants to providers across Minnesota.
DEED invested $167 million across two grant rounds since December 2022 to connect more than 46,000 homes and businesses to high-speed broadband. Since the inception of the Border-to-Border Broadband Program in 2014, DEED had provided nearly $297 million in grants to connect more than 103,000 homes and businesses around Minnesota to broadband internet.
