Broadband BEAD update: vendor seeks letters of support from elected officials
Summary
Cherry Capital Connect Broadband updated the commission on the BEAD grant process and requested letters of support from elected officials as individuals to help the county's application; no formal county commitment was recorded at the meeting.
Tim Maylone, CEO of Cherry Capital Connect Broadband, briefed the Crawford County Board on the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) grant process and asked elected officials to provide letters of support in their individual capacities to strengthen the county's application.
Maylone asked commissioners for individual letters of support rather than an institutional endorsement, signaling the applicant's strategy for the federal grant process. The presentation was informational and the meeting record shows no subsequent motion or county-level commitment during the Dec. 19 session.
Commissioners received the update and materials for review; staff follow-up would be required if the board decided to provide a formal, institutional letter of support at a later date.
