That is our understanding. The states control the money, and restrictions may change by state. Biggest thing is, whatever the funds were used for, had to be operational by year end. In fact, in MN, final disbursements have to be cut by Dec 1st by the counties that were given money from the state to fund projects like Broadband.

Wyoming did some Broadband specific funding, which all had to be built by year’s end, whereas South Dakota is doing grants for any small business had at least a 25% decrease in gross margins comparing a period in 2020 to 2019. Montana, on the other hand, only doled out CARES Act money for health care related things.
