STATE TO SCORE GRANT APPLICATIONS FROM BROADBAND PROVIDERS FOR CUMBERLAND CO.
Cumberland County Mayor Allen Foster gave an update yesterday on broadband grant applications. Last year, no provider applied for grants to extend service in the county. This year, five applications are in to hopefully provide better service to the county as well as Crossville. The county is broadband grant eligible and the state will score the applications. County officials should know before spring if any of the providers will receive a grant to install broadband in the county.
