More broadband for Redwood and Lyon Counties is coming

The Milroy Broadband Project located in both Redwood and Lyon counties will receive $742,365 to bring access to a combined 268 unserved households and businesses.

A portion of another $760,501 grant will be used to bring online several unserved areas of southwest Lac qui Parle County.

The grants are being matched by private funding.

“This work will help bring reliable internet service to a part of our state that has been lacking.”

“High-speed internet no longer is a luxury, but a tool that is necessary to function in many aspects of our society,” said Rep. Chris Swedzinski (R-Ghent).

“Congratulations again to those who successfully brought grant funding to our region,” he added.
