TBCP Awards

The Havasupai Tribe of the Havasupai Reservation (Havasupai Tribe) began the environmental review work for its $7 million broadband infrastructure deployment project. The Havasupai Tribe’s project, when complete, will install fiber to directly connect more than 100 unserved Tribal homes in the Grand Canyon.

The Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona (Yavapai-Apache Nation) procured a contractor, who began work on their network design. This included meeting with the Nation several times to ensure their needs and priorities are met. This work will position the Yavapai-Apache Nation to have a cost-effective approach to expand broadband connectivity for their community in future funding opportunities.

Events
