The Capital Projects Fund is the second grant funding program through the American Rescue Plan Act. The Oklahoma Broadband Office has $159 million available to award for infrastructure projects.
The goal is to carry out projects directly enabling work, education, and health monitoring, including remote options, in response to COVID-19.
The Oklahoma Broadband Governing Board approved a second round of CPF grant funding during its meeting on October 14, 2025. The board was informed that one of the awarded ISPs is not moving forward on five of its projects. No money was ever drawn down by the ISP. As a result, 766 locations became available to be served via CPF funding. Since BEAD has been adjudicated by the OBO and is under review by NTIA, those locations would otherwise be left without funding for high-speed internet access.
A new application round closed on November 17.
