Staff reports broadband buildout progress, says 485 locations remain unserved under current grant
Summary
County staff said broadband crews completed numerous roads in July and have additional grant funds to address roughly 485 remaining unserved locations; no firm timeline was available because state and federal approvals are pending.
Staff reported progress on broadband construction in July, listing completed roads and current work on others; the update included a statement that approximately 485 locations remain unserved under the current grant but extra BEAD (broadband equity) funding had been secured to help reach more locations. Staff said there is no definitive timeline because the state’s authorization and federal regulations are still pending.
Commissioners reacted positively to the progress numbers; staff emphasized the county will use contractors under current contracts once state approvals arrive. The update was framed as interim status rather than a final schedule.
