Rural broadband projects across Minnesota are set to receive nearly $100 million as the state pushes to bring high-speed internet to the more than 200,000 households in the remaining communities that don’t have access.
Gov. Tim Walz’s office on Thursday announced that the $99.6 million in state and federal funding for broadband through the Border-to-Border Broadband program is the “largest single investment” in Minnesota’s history. The Department of Employment and Economic Development, which administers the program, estimates 33,000 additional households in mostly rural areas of the state will gain high-speed internet access through the projects.
