broadband agreement

County approves rural broadband agreement

Body

HENDERSON COUNTY–Henderson County Commissioners’ Court voted Nov. 7 to approve an agreement with Brightspeed (Connect Holding II LLC) to enhance broadband services, related to American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund projects.
That means Henderson County is wrapping up its part of what the court described as a “long process” to use federal COVID relief money to bring high-speed internet to underserved, rural areas of the county.
