Unidentified Speaker 8 updated the commissioners that the three-site wireless broadband tower project—funded through an ARC power grant and ARPA funds—had completed a bid opening on Sept. 25, the county received contract documents, and the contract was executed last week. The contractor is preparing to begin work, and preliminary construction scheduling indicates work will start soon with an anticipated completion timeline next summer.
