The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved $500,000 of funding to leverage $3.85 million in private dollars on behalf of four last-mile broadband projects.
Sierra Business Council Project Manager Kari Sinoff said the county money will facilitate around 440 connections through grants awarded to Nevada County Fiber, Inc.; Northern Sierra Broadband; and Spiral Fiber, Inc., all in western county; and Oasis Broadband, in eastern county.
The timeline for all the projects is 12 to 18 months.
“Most of the projects actually require under 12 months,” Sinoff said. “We want to under-promise, over-deliver to residents in this area. They’ve waited a long time for the service, so we want to let them know it will be installed when it will be installed.”
Broadband projects move forward with Nevada County funding theunion.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from theunion.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.

In the 2020 presidential election, more than a dozen county consolidated precincts turned out over 90% of their voters.
While the election went to Joe Biden, candidates from both parties had strong support throughout the county, largely falling along a rural, urban divide.

Down ballot votes largely mirrored those of the presidential race, with Republicans finding support in rural Nevada County and Democrats taking large population centers.
Unsurprisingly, Republican U.S. Rep. Doug LaMalfa did well in the same areas as Donald Trump, earning more than 50% of the vote in the south and eastern ends of western Nevada County.
