State Incentive Program Trends: Broadband Expansion

To ensure equitable access to broadband internet and spur economic development in underserved communities, many states offer incentive programs to for-profit businesses, local governments, and/or non-profit organizations to expand broadband internet access throughout the state.

The incentives can take a variety of forms. Some states offer specific tax credits relating to broadband infrastructure development, like the Mississippi Broadband Technology Tax Credit. In many states, infrastructure and investment programs that are not explicitly advertised as “broadband expansion programs” can be used to expand internet access and promote prosperity in all communities. States can also leverage federal programs, such as the Community Development Block Grant and New Markets Tax Credit, to assist underserved populations and ensure equitable internet access.
