County agrees to sign support letter for ideatek fiber proposal but declines funding
Summary
John Terry of ideatek asked the Board to invest in fiber to rural Cherokee County; commissioners will sign a letter of support but declined direct county financial participation, per Oct. 20 minutes.
John Terry, identified in the minutes as a community relations manager for ideatek, requested county investment to extend fiber optic internet to rural areas of Cherokee County. The Board agreed to sign a letter of support for the project but declined to provide direct financial participation, according to the minutes.
The minutes do not specify the proposed dollar amount, the exact locations to be served, or a timeline; the Board's recorded commitment was limited to a letter of support. The minutes contain two spellings of the company's name ("ideate" and "ideatek"); this article uses the minutes' later spelling, "ideatek," for consistency but flags the inconsistency for verification with the company or county records.
