Carter County commissioners voted unanimously Feb. 22 to adopt a resolution supporting a broadband infrastructure expansion project for the county, a measure the board said would help connect more residents to high‑speed internet.
Carter County commissioners on Feb. 22 unanimously approved a resolution endorsing a broadband infrastructure expansion for the county.
