Lake County looks at the road to better broadband

Northland News has been looking at the impact of broadband in Northeastern Minnesota. They took a look at how local businesses dealt with broadband have-nots and haves through Lake County’s fiber project and how technology has changed marketing for Granite Gear. Lake Connections was able to step up and help businesses get the broadband they need through an ARRA funded project.

The story takes a look at the history of the project, which got a limit bumpy but as they note the only barrier now is the geography. They are hoping to be done June – and as I mentioned last week, the good weather has been a friend to them making it easiest for construction
