Alta Fiber Broadband Expansion and ARPA Contract Extension
Butler County
Summary
The county is deciding whether to grant altafiber a two-year extension to complete a rural high-speed internet expansion funded partly by ARPA dollars. While commissioners want to ensure rural families and school districts get connected, questions remain over whether the county should tie up funds when the company plans to build out the network eventually anyway.
