Today the Office of Broadband Development held a session on Broadband Development Training Series: Navigating PLUS (Permitting, Land Use, and State Systems). Below are the slides and notes on questions. The information is detailed and the OBD will be posting the archive on their website when available.
Questions:
- Archeologists are hired to write a report. They should submit the report to SHPO when you send to the clients.
- Q: Do you expect any permitting streamlining efforts by others to impact MN SHPO processes or requirements?
A: No. Other entities may need to work with DEED.
A: BEAD hired Megan to help and that will be huge. - This webinar isn’t about BEAD.
Resources shared during the presentation:
- Good morning and welcome! Links will be added to the chat throughout the webinar this morning. This session will be recorded and posted to the OBD Webinars & Recorded Events page. Resources are available on the Line Extension Connection Program (https://mn.gov/deed/programs-services/broadband/extension/) and federal BEAD program (https://mn.gov/deed/programs-services/broadband/bead/).
