As provided by Act 137, which was signed into law by Governor Phil Scott on July 2, 2020, the purpose of the COVID-Response Connected Community Resilience Program (the “Program”) is to fund recovery planning efforts of communications union districts, particularly concerning accelerating their deployment schedules. On October 3, 2020, Act 154 -- the new budget bill -- increased the CARES Act appropriation for the CUD planning grant program in Section 14(a) of Act 137 from $800,000 to $2,300,000 and increased the original $100,000 individual CUD grant cap to $400,000.
