Scott County: providers building in the area

Scott County has seen very incremental broadband improvements over the last couple years. They stand to get more fiber in the area with BEAD funding and in 2025, a couple of providers announced expansions. They retain their Green status.

At the time of writing, the MN BEAD final proposal has not been approved, but the current proposal would mean coverage for 1,866 locations in Scott County. The majority of locations will get fiber the rest 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. (Anoka has benefitted from earlier Line Extension awards. So that seems hopeful for them as well.)

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