According to a release, DED has awarded funds to fund 29 projects through the Cell Towers Grant Program, which is funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and administered by DED’s Office of Broadband Development.

Awards will be used to construct new towers that “…provide quality cellular service and greater 911 connectivity to high-cost areas.”
