Status Summary SLIGP grant was submitted to NTIA in August 2013 in response to a FirstNet Round One Funding Notice. The grant money allows the State to conduct planning, education, and outreach activities related to being a part of the new network. The grant will cover a performance period of three years, and the State will be required to complete a number of steps related to planning for participation in the nationwide LTE network.
