Center for Rural Development outlines 5-site broadband build for Pulaski County; BEAD awards will shape next phases

Apr 8, 2025

Presenters from the Center for Rural Development described a phase-one, five‑site broadband deployment covering roughly 3,000 broadband‑serviceable locations across Pulaski and Rockcastle counties, funded in part by ARC. Officials said countywide coverage depends on federal BEAD awards; subscribers are expected on Phase A by the end of summer.
