Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Local Planning Grant Program

Visions Northwest was recently awarded a grant from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin to support broadband planning activities that will inform the state Five-Year Action Plan which will guide broadband deployment and implementation of the BEAD program. 

​

As a first step, the Northwest Wisconsin Regional Broadband Committee was formed with appointees from all nine counties and one tribe that opted into working with Visions Northwest for the two-year contract period (Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Iron, Price, Rusk, Sawyer, Washburn, and Bad River Tribe).
