ReConnect Loan and Grant Program Workshop

The _New Mexico Department of Information Technology_ (NM DoIT) has
partnered with _CTC Technology & Energy_ to host a workshop on the
USDA's Broadband ReConnect program.

This informational workshop will provide detail regarding opportunities
associated with the USDA ReConnect Program. This program furnishes loans
and grants to provide funds for the costs of construction, improvement,
and/or acquisition of facilities and equipment needed to provide
broadband service to eligible rural areas.

The USDA's Broadband ReConnect Program new rules dramatically expand
eligibility and effectively redefine broadband. Entities that can apply
for ReConnect assistance include corporations, limited liability
companies/partnerships, cooperative or mutual organizations,
states/local governments including
agency/subdivision/instrumentality/political subdivision, and Tribal (as
defined in Section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education
Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450b)).

Please join us as we review the program's new rules, provide guidance on
how to take advantage of this funding opportunity, and share tips on how
to position your application.

The ReConnect Loan and Grant Program Workshop will be held on Wednesday,
November 17 from 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. MDT. In this workshop, there
will be time to provide answers and strategic direction to participants.
