The global pandemic of 2020 highlighted the need for universal broadband access, essential for telework, telehealth, and remote learning. State broadband offices are now acting to close access coverage gaps and expand digital opportunities for every state community. CostQuest helps states combine comprehensive data and proven grant administration formulas from past programs and put them in action:
- Map unserved and underserved areas for stakeholders
- Calculate the deployment cost required to connect communities statewide
- Design subsidy and loan programs aligned with state goals
- Evaluate funding applications using location-level cost assessments and reliable eligibility frameworks
- Create grant award and compliance systems, manage reporting, and ensure federal and state compliance is met
Accelerate deployment & maximize funding impact for your state
