Broadband project carries potential $110 million price tag

The wheels are in motion to get you faster internet to your home and business.

 

Door County and the Door County Economic Development Corporation hosted a joint public information meeting on Tuesday at the Door County ADRC building in Sturgeon Bay to go over potential plans of action to address the area’s broadband needs. Last year, a study was commissioned to complete an assessment and develop a plan of action. A broadband firm suggested the county bring fiber internet directly to homes and businesses. Depending on how many people buy into the product, the number of grants the county is able to acquire, and the parts of the area the system would serve, the price tag would be between $60 million and $110 million.

 

Door County Administrator Ken Pabich says they will act quickly on a number of items to start implementing some of the recommendations.

A recent study showed that the majority of Door County residents do not have sufficient broadband internet if they get it at all.
