Commissioners approved a first amendment to the county’s broadband infrastructure agreement with Comcast Cable Communications to extend project timing and continue work to deploy fiber across the county.
Presenters cited a project value discussed at approximately $17,000,008 and said a portion of the project had been appropriated from ARPA funds; the county expects approximately 192 fiber miles under the project.
