American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

Excellence in Communications Engineering

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided approximately $7.2 billion in funding to the ARRA Broadband Stimulus Programs to be managed by the RUS and the NTIA. This resulted in opportunities for companies to receive funding for broadband projects through grants or loans managed by these agencies. Mid-State assisted with several applications under both rounds of funding, and is now assisting clients with engineering services for funded projects.

Mid-State has the expertise with federally-funded projects to insure the success of your Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) funded project, or your Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP) funded project. Please contact us today.
