The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development has awarded Nuvera Communications Inc. a $1.9 million grant through the Office of Broadband to bring fiber broadband to unserved and underserved areas in Goodhue County.
And more on the network…
The DEED grant funds will go towards the total project cost of $2.5 million and the remainder of the funding will come from a local match provided by Nuvera and Goodhue County. The project will build fiber service west of White Rock and reach Bell Creek, Cannon Falls, Leon, and Vasa Township areas. There are 86 households, 41 farms, and 9 businesses in the buildout area. …
The grant funds come from DEED’s Low Population Density Program which provides grants to companies building broadband in areas of the state with low population and high broadband deployment costs.
