Mahnomen County has seen a huge increase in access from 17 percent to 57 percent since the last report. That is likely due to the $1.3 million MN broadband grant Garden Valley Telephone received in 2017. They need another shot in the arm to get closer to the goal of ubiquitous coverage to 100/20 Mbps. One of the big issues in Mahnomen is the low population density. Even for an engaged provider, it’s difficult to make a business case to serve 3.5 households per square mile.
