CPF recipients began investing grant funding in capital infrastructure projects. Many states are using their funding to connect thousands of homes and businesses to affordable, high-speed internet, a key priority of the CPF program. Other states are using their funds to construct or renovate multi-purpose community facilities to provide increased access to resources and programming for community members. Tribal governments continue to use their funding to purchase digital connectivity devices, build multi-purpose community facilities, or construct broadband infrastructure.
