Grant County: code changes from Red to Yellow

Grant County made great strides in the last year, from 75 percent access to 95.

At the time of writing, the MN BEAD final proposal has not been approved, but the current proposal would mean coverage for 0 locations in Grant County.

There is still Line Extension funding yet to be distributed, which helps connect handfuls of  houses just beyond existing infrastructure. (Grant has not benefitted from earlier Line Extension awards. So that might be an interesting strategy to consider.)

Statewide, there have been changes with local and national broadband providers, which also leads to uncertainty.

Given the great strides Grant has made, I have lifted them from Red to Yellow status. I considered going straight to Green status but the lack of prospects from BEAD held me back.
