Yellow Medicine County: improvement is coming
Yellow Medicine County’s broadband coverage has jumped up considerably in the last year, which helps them 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 Yellow Medicine County.
There is still Line Extension funding yet to be distributed, which helps connect handfuls of houses just beyond existing infrastructure. (Yellow Medicine 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.
