County looking to strengthen Internet services

By Staff
High-speed internet, long thought to be almost impossible for residents of rural areas throughout the state, may be on its way to rural areas of Franklin County.
The Franklin Electric Cooperative is looking for grant funding to help bring broadband over power lines (BPL) to several underserved and non-served areas of Franklin County.
According to Frank Hoehn, technical project manager for Franklin County, the idea came after several years of attempting to use other methods.
If the county is able to secure funding for this project, Franklin County residents would have better access to the Internet than most any other area.
Let's hope the county is able to get some help in landing these most important funds.
