Up to $700 million in Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) funds are coming to Oregon, and counties should be engaged in the process, ensuring their community needs are met. 

The Oregon Broadband Office (OBO) has now opened the challenge process by which local governments can challenge whether an individual location is considered unserved, underserved, or served. 

The challenge process closes May 22, 2024. Learn more about the challenge process here
