Grant Overview

Wyoming's rural areas face significant capacity gaps in broadband access, with many residents lacking access to reliable and high-speed internet. The state's vast geography and sparse population make it challenging to develop and maintain broadband infrastructure. According to a report by the Wyoming Broadband Task Force, over 30% of the state's rural residents lack access to broadband speeds of at least 25/3 Mbps. Who is impacted by these capacity gaps? Rural residents, businesses, and organizations are all affected, with many struggling to access basic online services, including telehealth, online education, and e-commerce. Wyoming's Rural Broadband funding addresses these capacity gaps by supporting infrastructure development and digital literacy training. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, private companies, and government entities with experience in broadband development. ## Wyoming's Rural Broadband Challenges ## The funding prioritizes projects that can demonstrate a clear understanding of the state's unique broadband challenges and a commitment to delivering high-quality infrastructure. Applicants must also show a clear plan for ensuring the long-term sustainability of their projects. ## Capacity Building in Wyoming's Rural Communities ## The state's rural communities face significant infrastructure constraints, including limited access to funding, technical expertise, and workforce capacity. The funding helps to alleviate these constraints by providing support for infrastructure development and digital literacy training, enabling rural communities to build their capacity and access the benefits of broadband. Unlike neighboring states, Wyoming's funding requires applicants to demonstrate a clear understanding of the state's unique frontier county designation and the challenges it presents for broadband development. Wyoming is characterized by vast rural landscapes, with many communities being isolated and dispersed. The state's economy is driven by major industries such as energy, tourism, and agriculture. The workforce composition is diverse, with many workers employed in the energy and tourism sectors. The state's infrastructure is limited in rural areas, with many roads and highways being rural and underdeveloped. The population density is low in rural areas, with many communities being isolated and dispersed.
