United States Department of Treasury Approves Project Buildout Extensions for ARPA Capital Projects Fund - Broadband Deployment Program in Oregon

Business Oregon’s Oregon Broadband Office has received approval from the U.S. Department of the Treasury for a six-month extension of the ARPA Capital Projects Fund - Broadband Deployment Program, providing additional time to complete critical broadband infrastructure projects across the state. Oregon Broadband Office submitted extension requests on behalf of 13 of 17 awarded projects and received approval for all 13 on June 18, 2026. The four projects that did not seek an extension are expected to reach completion by September 30, 2026. Oregon was the first state to submit extension requests to US Treasury. This extension helps ensure that CPF-funded projects can be delivered in accordance with federal requirements while maximizing the long-term impact of these investments for Oregon communities. Through the Broadband Deployment Program, approximately $139 million in Capital Projects Fund resources are being invested to expand reliable, high-speed, fiber optic broadband service to unserved and underserved locations throughout Oregon, with a strong emphasis on affordable access to essential online services.
