Line Extension Customer Assistance Program

LECAP is designed to extend broadband networks in rural communities and bring high speed internet connections to those homes with low to moderate incomes.


Who benefits from LECAP?

BARC Connects will cover up to $7,000 of the cost to extend broadband service from the main service line to the customer’s home. If the cost is over $7,000, this is when LECAP funds can be requested by the customer.


Eligibility

LECAP will cover 100% of the cost of extending broadband service to qualifying households. Eligibility is determined by annual household income and adjusted based on where you live.
