The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, is transforming America’s infrastructure landscape. A significant part of this legislation is the $1 billion Middle Mile Grant Program, designed to enhance broadband connectivity across the nation, with a focus on rural communities. This presents unparalleled opportunities for companies, electric co-ops, and communities who manage local right of way which could be used for middle mile fiber projects. Middle Mile can be open or neutral access so that multiple broadband service providers are granted access to the new fiber and can even share in the costs of construction and operations. Discover how partnering with Terra Contracting can help you capitalize on this historic investment.
What is the Middle Mile Grant Program?
The Middle Mile Grant Program aims to build and improve the infrastructure that connects core internet networks to local last-mile networks, which directly serve homes and businesses. With a $1 billion investment, this program focuses on the construction, improvement, and acquisition of middle mile broadband infrastructure, including fiber-optic cables essential for high-speed internet services.
