Sherburne County: Great improvement
After a nice increase in 2024, broadband coverage in Sherburne County stayed stagnant in 2025 but it seems they are working with providers on BEAD projects so that should help in 2026. 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 1,601 locations in Sherburne County. The majority of locations will get fiber the rest will get a 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. (Sherburne 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.
