\n \n\n

To ensure transparency and best use of taxpayer funds, a public comment process is incorporated within the Kansas Broadband Acceleration Grant Year 2 evaluation process.  This process provides an opportunity for Kansas stakeholders to learn more about the proposed projects as well as to provide input on the Broadband Acceleration Grant applications received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Public Comment Window is open from Feb 16, 2022 through March 8, 2022 (11:59pm CST). <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kansas Office of Broadband Development (KOBD) invites public comment for thirty-six (36) applications received for the Kansas state-funded, industry-matched Broadband Acceleration Grant, Year 2<\/a> (the \u201cGrant\u201d). This public comment process is designed to ensure program transparency and optimize use of taxpayer funds to extend high speed broadband service to unserved and underserved Kansan households and anchor businesses.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We encourage internet service providers, the public, and other interested stakeholders to participate by expressing either support or specific concerns for the proposed Grant projects. Your input will inform which projects KOBD awards and support making the best possible investments for Kansas\u2019 broadband infrastructure. The public comment window is from February 16, 2022 \u2013 March 8, 2022 (11:59pm CST). Grant applicants will subsequently have an opportunity to respond to the public comments received from March 10 – 22, 2022.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posted for comment are the Public Project Proposal and a Public Proposed Service Area Map for each Grant application.  You can download these documents from the Table below.  Proposal files are \u201c.pdf\u201d and map files are zipped and contain a \u201c.kmz\u201d map file that can be opened using Google Earth or other GIS application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
