PBDA created the Broadband Ready Communities Program. The program was established to encourage the reduction in procedural, policy, and permitting barriers to broadband deployment, at the municipal level. Recognizing that resources can vary across every municipality, the PBDA took time to review the BBRC program as it was created and made significant improvements to the requirements for participation to achieve BBRC designation. Municipalities & counties that achieve the BBRC designation will receive special recognition from the PBDA as well as promotion through upcoming newsletters on the PBDA website. Registration is easy and only requires a resolution and a designated point of contact. Must register by 3/21/25.
