GRANT APPLIED FOR TO OBTAIN BROADBAND ACCESS TO PARTS OF NORTHERN CUMBERLAND CO.
Vol First Services, doing business as Ben Lomand Connect, is applying for a Tennessee Broadband Accessibility Grant to provide high speed internet service to a portion of northern Cumberland County.
They will be hosting town hall meetings at North Cumberland Elementary School on September 10 and September 23, 2019 at 6 p.m. to answer questions specific to the grant application, discuss the fiber-to-the-premises deployment topology, and hopefully collect surveys and support letters.
Letters are being mailed to residents of the proposed grant area, and they are optimistic that residents who are interested in this opportunity will plan to attend one of the meetings.
