Twisp council unanimously backs letter supporting county BEAD broadband grant
Summary
The Twisp Town Council voted unanimously Dec. 17 to approve a letter of support for Okanogan County PUD’s BEAD broadband grant application after a brief overview from the Okanogan County Economic Alliance.
The Twisp Town Council voted unanimously Dec. 17 to approve a letter of support for the Okanogan County PUD’s application to the federal BEAD (Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment) program.
Roni Holder-Diefenbach of the Okanogan County Economic Alliance gave a brief overview of the BEAD application and the planned deployment. Council Member Tim Matsui moved to approve the letter of support; Council Member Will Menzies seconded the motion, which “passed unanimously,” according to the meeting minutes.
The vote is procedural: the council’s action provides a local endorsement to accompany the county utility’s grant application. The minutes do not record further specifics about the geographic scope, dollar amount, or project timeline for the PUD’s BEAD proposal.
Next steps after the meeting are administrative: the letter of support will be forwarded to Okanogan County PUD as part of its BEAD application packet. The record does not show any additional conditions or follow-up tasks assigned to town staff at this meeting.
