County approves three final last-mile broadband grants; Alta Sierra AT&T proposal pulled for further review
Summary
After additional community feedback, Nevada County approved three last-mile broadband grant awards to expand service in underserved areas and removed an AT&T Alta Sierra proposal from the current package for further negotiation and footprint refinement.
The Nevada County Board of Supervisors on Feb. 11 approved three projects from the county’s final round of last-mile broadband grant awards and pulled a fourth AT&T Alta Sierra proposal for further review to address project footprint and unserved-connection prioritization.
Staff and program partners told the board that community input and technical review prompted a revision to the staff recommendation.
