Commission ratifies letters supporting Farmers Telecommunications broadband grant applications
Summary
Chairman’s previously signed letters of support for Farmers Telecommunications’ broadband grant applications were ratified by the commission for multiple grant rounds, including applications for middle-mile infrastructure and anchor institution support.
The St. Clair County Commission ratified Chairman Baker’s signature on letters of support for Farmers Telecommunications’ applications for broadband grant funding.
Commissioners said the letters support Farmers Telecommunications’ middle-mile broadband proposals to the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs and to related anchor institution or broadband programs. The chairman had signed the letter in advance; commissioners voted to ratify that signature and to ratify a separate letter supporting an Alabama Anchor Institute middle-mile grant application.
Commission leadership said the ratifications are part of broader county efforts to support broadband projects; no financing commitments were made on the record at the meeting.
