Greene County approves signing letters supporting BEAD broadband applications
Summary
Commissioners voted to sign a batch of letters supporting multiple BEAD broadband grant applications, including requests from AT&T Indiana.
Greene County commissioners voted to sign letters of support for several BEAD (Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment) grant applications after staff said the requests ranged from specific proposals to mass-mailer-style outreach.
Marvin (county staff) told the commission some requests came from AT&T Indiana and that most requests were not directly competing but would be evaluated when awards are made. Commissioner discussion expressed broad support for companies investing in county broadband.
The commission approved a motion to sign all of the county’s requested letters of support for this round of BEAD applications. No vote tally naming individual commissioners was recorded in the meeting transcript; commissioners responded “all in favor” to the motion.
Commissioners did not commit county funding as part of the letters; the action was limited to authorizing signatures for support letters to accompany applicants’ grant submissions.
