Le Sueur County: When Federal Funding gets in the way
Le Sueur County has seen incremental improvements in broadband since 2022 but they are still below 90 percent access, which means they retain their Yellow status.
Le Sueur became a Blandin Broadband Community and the Le Sueur County Broadband Initiative is active with an annual booth at the County Fair and other activities.
At the time of writing, the MN BEAD final proposal has not been approved, but the current proposal would mean coverage for 1,129 locations in Le Sueur County. The majority of locations will get fiber but a few will get satellite or fixed wireless connection, which does not qualify as served in the MN statute.
There is still Line Extension funding yet to be distributed, which helps connect handfuls of houses just beyond existing infrastructure. (Le Sueur has benefitted from earlier Line Extension awards. So that seems hopeful for them as well.)
There have been changes with local and national broadband providers, which also leads to uncertainty. Le Sueur is keeping an eye on changes in their area.
