Public Works Board announces new workshop and grant opportunities

Contact: Logan Bahr, Maggie Carol

The Public Works Board (PWB) recently announced new regional training events for effective infrastructure system management, and feasibility and outreach grants for broadband infrastructure.

Regional training

PWB’s free regional training events will take place each month from March until June 2020. The trainings will be held in four different locations around the state and offer a mix of concept presentation and group practice for effective infrastructure system management. Additionally, two of the training events will be two days, with the second day focusing on community partnerships, economic development, and community revitalization. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for water and wastewater operators.

Broadband grants

Additionally, PWB’s Broadband Program announced an additional $50,000 available in feasibility and outreach grants. These grants support public outreach and engagement activities that establish community-based efforts to bring broadband infrastructure to unserved areas. Community-based efforts, such as Broadband Action Teams, are essential to ensure that community needs are met in planning for broadband expansion. The maximum award per applicant is $10,000, with a 10% match requirement. Funding awards are based on a competitive ranking process.
