Minnesota Border to Border Broadband round 9 grant applicants

On December 12, 2023, grant applications were due to the Office of Broadband Development. Providers have until January 11, 2024 to challenge the applications.

I am preparing to work on the MN Broadband County Profiles and part of that means figuring out which counties are in the hopper for possibly getting grants. I thought I’d share that info as part of the process:
