In an effort to increase the availability of broadband access, Governor
Ivey signed Act #2019-327 on May 30, 2019. This Act amended the Alabama
Broadband Accessibility Act. ADECA is in the process of incorporating the
amendments into the Alabama Broadband Accessibility Fund Program Guide and
grant applications. Once that process is complete and ADECA
announces the next grant application window, previous applicants who did not
receive funding, but who may now be eligible for funding due to Act #2019-327,
may reapply at that time. New applicants may apply for funding at that
time as well.
