New Mexico Broadband Office Approves $6.7M in Public Wi-Fi Grants

Feb. 17, 2026 – The New Mexico Office of Broadband Access and Expansion (OBAE) announced six grants, totaling $6.7 million, to implement or expand public Wi-Fi service across the state.

OBAE’s Community Connect Grant Program awarded two cities, two counties, a university and an internet service provider in New Mexico on Feb. 11. The largest grant of approximately $2.2 million went to Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell.

These grants will expand Wi-Fi in public plazas, parks and municipal buildings, ultimately taking one step closer toward the state’s goal of closing the digital divide and serving areas with poor connectivity.
