Back to topPurpose
The purpose of this NOFA is to solicit Applications from Communications Service Providers for Broadband Infrastructure Projects that will have the greatest overall effect of reducing or eliminating Unserved or Underserved Areas in the State through the installation of Broadband Infrastructure. This grant round is based on renewed Targeted Service Area determinations as will be published to an updated version of the Statewide Broadband Availability Map on July 1, 2021. These determinations and this map identify the geographic areas in the State of Iowa in which grant funds under this program are available.
Back to topProgram Design
For purposes of this NOFA and in accordance with Iowa Code ch. 8B, the funds available for Award under this NOFA is up to $97,500,000 and shall be distributed across the following categories:
- 80% to Projects that will Facilitate 100/100 Broadband or faster in Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Targeted Service Areas, or 100/20 Broadband or faster in Tier 1 Targeted Service Areas.
- 20% to Projects that will Facilitate Broadband in Difficult to Serve Areas.
The Office is seeking Proposals from Responsible Applicants to provide Broadband to Targeted Service Areas in the State of Iowa at minimum speeds of 100/100 or 100/20, depending on Tier type.
The total amount of funds sought under this NOFA may not exceed:
- 75% of any Applicants Total Project Costs for the installation of 100/100 Broadband or faster within Tier 1 TSAs;
- 50% of any Applicants Total Project Costs for the installation of 100/100 Broadband or faster within Tier 2 TSAs;

- 50% of any Applicants Total Project Costs for the installation of 100/20 Broadband within Tier 1 TSAs.
Applications shall define a single Project proposing a buildout speed of 100/100 Broadband or faster or 100/20 Broadband or faster, but not both within the same Project.
Every Targeted Service Area is designated a tier type. The tier is determined by the existing speeds offered within the census block, and reflected on the Broadband Availability Map version 4. Each tier is defined as follows:
- “Tier 1” means a maximum download speed of less than 25 megabits per second and a maximum upload speed of less than three megabits per second.
- “Tier 2” means a minimum download speed of greater than or equal to 25 megabits per second but less than 50 megabits per second. No minimum upload speed is applicable for Tier 2.
