The Office of Broadband Access and Expansion (OBAE) will implement a program for the deployment or expansion of Public Wi-Fi in New Mexico Communities. $5,993,281.34 are available from the American Rescue Plan Act - Capital Projects Fund. Through partnerships with state agencies, counties, municipalities, and other public bodies, OBAE will implement public Wi-Fi projects targeting communities with poor levels of connectivity and digital inclusion and provide them with sustainable, place-based solutions that improve infrastructure necessary for participation in work, education, and health monitoring. 

The program is a direct implementation program. OBAE will enter into intergovernmental agreements with eligible public entities who will complete public Wi-Fi projects.

Project proposals will be reviewed and selected in the order received. OBAE funding for the Community Wi-Fi Grant Program expires on December 31, 2026. Projects will be selected based on urgency of the identified issue, and the ability of the entity to execute the project quickly to satisfy the issue.
