The Pueblo Education Network builds middle mile broadband infrastructure for tribes, enabling digital economy participation and effectuating last-mile internet access to homes and anchor institutions and tribal businesses. The Pueblo Education Network also creates a private education network connecting tribal PreK-20 schools and libraries to each other and to national research and education networks, modernizing Indian Education in the global information age.  The overall footprint is approximately 324 miles. The project originates in Albuquerque, New Mexico and travels through Isleta Pueblo, Acoma Pueblo, and Zuni Pueblo lands with the fiber path ending at the Zuni Elementary School, Zuni Head Start Building, Zuni Governor’s Office, and Zuni High School.  The fiber path will primarily be immediately adjacent to already established roads and will travel through private lands, Bureau of Land Management, US Forest Service, New Mexico State Land Office, Navajo Nation lands at Ramah, and Zuni Pueblo lands.

USACE completed this milestone 2 days ahead of the current schedule. However, the dashboard functionality is experiencing glitches that are preventing USACE, NTIA, and the Permitting Council from marking the milestone complete. The milestone will be marked complete as soon as the dashboard error is fixed.
