To increase support and opportunity for broadband infrastructure investment within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority (PBDA) has developed the Broadband Ready Communities (BBRC) Program.
The mission of the BBRC Program is to encourage the reduction in procedural, policy, and permitting barriers to broadband deployment at the municipal level and to encourage broadband infrastructure investment within participating PA communities.
Participation in the BBRC Program, while not required is strongly encouraged, as it will showcase that a municipality has made and effort to address barriers to broadband infrastructure. Additionally, as a Broadband Ready Community the PBDA will highlight all Broadband Ready Communities on various public platforms. Discover municipalities or counties near you who have committed to being a Broadband Ready Community and designated a Broadband Champion.
Reference the BBRC Program guidelines for additional details, the BBRC Frequently Asked Questions (also available in a printable PDF format), or the BBRC fact sheet.
