Broadband Breakfast Live Online: Federal Broadband Funds and Opportunity 
Zones

Drew Clark, host/moderator, with Blair Levin, Graham Richard, and Carol 
Mattey.

The FCC is making $20.4 billion available for rural broadband.
The U.S. Treasury's Opportunity Zones help urban projects.
Can these funds make a difference?

In this session, panelists will explore how the Federal Communications 
Commission's Rural Digital Opportunity Fund might impact project 
financing. Funding from RDOF will also be discussed in the context of 
the relatively recent Opportunity Zone investments, plus other sources 
of federal funding available to supplement the Return on Investment for 
broadband projects.
