State & Local Dollars (Local)

Advance Local Logo

The Advance Colorado Broadband State & Local Dollars Grant Program (Advance-Local) will award state funding to middle mile, last mile and non-deployment projects. The Advance-Local program will complement federal broadband infrastructure programs and ensure we connect 99% of Colorado households to high-speed internet.

Advance-Local Grant Program Public Comment Window

The Colorado Broadband Office invites stakeholders to review the Advance-Local Appeals Policy and proposed Advance-Local Guidelines and provide feedback before officially opening the grant program. The public comment window runs from Nov. 6 to Dec. 6. After that, CBO will review comments and make revisions as necessary.
