Meeker County will benefit from a MN State Grant awarded in 2021:
Meeker Cooperative Light & Power Association (Vibrant Broadband) – Lake Koronis – GRANT $41,927
This last mile project will serve approximately 28 unserved and seven underserved locations in Union Grove Township in Meeker County.
They will benefit from a MN Border to Border grant awarded in the last round. The project is small, but hopefully will start a quest for more improvement. Projected allocation of American Recovery Project ARP funds in Meeker is $4,503,764; broadband is one possible use.
Meeker County needs a major push to get to better broadband; they are code red.
