Nothing ever goes as quickly as we want – and the folks in Sibley and Renville Counties are learning that again. They had planned to vote on the option to move forward with their fiber network plan on Tuesday night (Sep 25).

Commissioners Oct. 9 will revisit discussion regarding bonding for the $70 million citizens group project that would upgrade and speed up Internet services in rural areas.

As far as the city votes go 10 of the 11 cities have approved bonding resolutions. Henderson says they are waiting to see what Sibley County does.
