Faribault County commissioner Tom Loveall, above, makes a point about the broadband grant at the meeting last Tuesday.
The Faribault County Board took action at its meeting on Tuesday, May 4, to apply for the Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG-CV).
The grant requires no public match and is for broadband development.
If the county is awarded the grant, it could mean five more small towns in Faribault County would be able to have access to fiber optic, according to Annie Nichols, the Economic Development Authority (EDA) specialist for the county.
