WILLMAR — The Kandiyohi County push to extend high-speed broadband across the county continues. At Tuesday's meeting of the Kandiyohi County Board , the Kandiyohi County Broadband Committee will be requesting additional American Rescue Plan Act dollars to help fund a two-part, three-township project.
The project would expand high-speed broadband through Harrision, Lake Elizabeth and East Lake Lillian townships. The ARPA request is for $399,725. The committee is also asking for a letter of support from the county board to go with the project's state Border to Border grant application. The county hopes to be awarded 75% of the project total, or $1.49 million.
Also on the agenda for the county board to consider is the KandiWorks asset distribution recommendation; a resolution approving the county-wide bridge replacement program; an amendment to the West Central Sanitation waste delivery agreement; allowing staff to move forward with the sale of the recycling center; and a letter of support for a accessibility project at the Kandiyohi County Fairgrounds.
There will also be a wrap-up discussion regarding the retirement of County Administrator Larry Kleindl.
