Wilkin County: still increasing
Wilkin County’s broadband coverage has increased slightly in 2025; they are close to goal so 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 0 locations in Anoka County.
There is still Line Extension funding yet to be distributed, which helps connect handfuls of houses just beyond existing infrastructure. (Wilkin has not benefitted from earlier Line Extension awards. So that seems like a strategy worth consideration.)
Statewide, there have been changes with local and national broadband providers, which also leads to uncertainty.
