Red Lake has had great broadband since we have been checking in. In 2010, Garden Valley received a $34 million loan from the USDA and in 2015 a $12 million loan from the USDA for fiber deployment. In August 2018, Garden Valley received a USDA loan for $20 million specifically to build more fiber.
In February 2023, Red Lake Reservation was awarded almost $2 million from the NTIA’s Connecting Minority Communities Pilot Program. The project included upgrade on-site internet service and security, upgrade laptop and desktop computers, increased learning software options at RLNC and provided digital devices and broadband service plans for RLNC students to enable access on and off campus.
Throughout 2023, they hosted a number of events to encourage customers to sign up for ACP (Affordable Connectivity Program) federal subsidies to help offset costs for customers. Unfortunately, ACP was discontinued in 2024.
