Benton County continues to make strides in bringing high-speed internet to its residents.
The Minnesota Office of Broadband Development has announced a $3-million Border-to-Border grant that will be used to bring high-speed internet to 836 addresses south of Highway 23. It’s on top of a previously awarded $1.5-million to bring service to 483 underserved customers north of Highway 23.
When complete at the end of 2026, the $12.8-million project will bring a minimum of 100 megabits per second of internet to those customers and cover nearly all of the addresses in the county.
