Pine County backs Mediacom BEAD application, approves $1,000 contribution
Summary
Mediacom told the Pine County board its joint Carlton–Pine project would build 357 miles of fiber and serve 2,381 unserved/underserved sites; commissioners voted to provide a letter of support and a $1,000 contribution to the application.
The Pine County Board voted to provide a letter of support and a $1,000 contribution to a Mediacom application for federal/state broadband funding. Leslie Satter, the county's economic development coordinator, introduced Mediacom's request and invited company representatives to present.
Jerry, presenting for Mediacom, said the proposed Carlton–Pine project would "build out 357 miles of fiber, and it will serve 2,381 residents, unserved and underserved," and that the portion in Pine County would include about 193 miles of fiber serving 1,104 locations. Mediacom said an award decision would likely be known by fall 2025, with construction beginning in mid-to-late 2026 and phased service activations to follow.
After brief questions about timing and phasing, a commissioner moved to support the project with a $1,000 contribution and a letter of support; the motion passed by voice vote.
