The West Central Tribune reports…

 The Kandiyohi County Board will enter 2025 with the same commissioners with which it will end 2024. District 4 Commissioner Roger Imdieke was elected to a fourth term on Tuesday, beating challenger Paul Ryan by approximately 15%.

Imdieke specifically mentions plans for broadband expansion…

Moving forward, Imdieke hopes to continue focusing on infrastructure and continuing the county’s positive impacts on transportation and broadband.

“We’ve accomplished in the last few years hundreds of millions of dollars worth of projects when you think a little bit more regionally, like Highway 23. There is definitely still more we can do,” Imdieke said, especially with broadband. “We’ve just about spent all of the American Rescue Plan Act funds that were made available for broadband. Going forward we’re going to have to try to figure out how do we fund those last miles.”
