Blue Earth County Board looks to expand broadband options
The Blue Earth County Board in Blue Earth County, MN is looking to "kickstart efforts to bring more broadband options and data fiber connections to the area." Commissioner Vance Stuehrenberg called on county officials Tuesday to lay the groundwork for a future public-private data fiber partnership as recent data show Blue Earth County is lagging in internet connectivity. Commissioner Vance Stuehrenberg said that while almost all of Blue Earth County’s internet options meet the state’s immediate high-speed goals, "the county needs to have better internet access if it wants to continue growing and attracting more economic development."
