The West Virginia Department of Economic Development (“Department”), in coordination with the West Virginia Broadband Enhancement Council and the State Broadband Office, will administer this Major Broadband Project Strategies Program (“Program”) to increase the availability of broadband services available to West Virginians. The Major Broadband Project Strategies Program (MBPS) is part of the West Virginia Broadband Investment Plan (WVBIP) and is designed for projects that have received technical assistance through the program, first announced by the Department in 2021. MBPS grants will be available to private ISPs which have a partnership agreement with these communities.
