The Browerville Blade (Aug 25, 2011) reports…

County Administrator Nathan Burkett received approval to accept $40,000 in grant funds from the Blandin Foundation. The money will be used to cover part of a feasibility study to determine if Todd County can support a broadband interest service. Burkett said the feasibility study will start immediately. The study, conducted by U-reka, will determine such things as the cost of a broadband internet network and level of interest among Todd County residents. Burkett said the study will be done in three to four months.

We are excited to see the continued interest of Telephone Companies and Cooperatives in partnering with the public sector to deliver next generation broadband to rural Minnesota.
