County official: courthouse renovations under way; Frontier broadband mapping initially left Sherwood off buildout
Summary
A county official said ARPA funds are paying for courtroom renovations and that Frontier Communications initially omitted parts of Sherwood Township on its broadband map; the company is reportedly trying to correct the map but construction in the township may be delayed.
Tim Stoll reported on county work at the Sept. 2 meeting, saying the county is renovating courtrooms and using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for those improvements. He said negotiations with local unions are mostly resolved, with the sheriff's department contract still outstanding.
Stoll also told the board that Frontier Communications' broadband buildout mapping had inaccurately labeled parts of Sherwood Township, which left some township areas off the company's map and delayed inclusion in the build plan. He said Frontier is attempting to rectify the mapping error, but added that it could take time before construction reaches those parts of the township.
The minutes noted this as an update; no timetable, grant award documents, or a Frontier statement appear in the record. The board did not take formal action on the broadband item at the meeting.
