BrightRidge announces rural broadband expansion

BrightRidge is funding a new broadband expansion that will bring internet service to another 1,051 rural locations in Washington County. Officials with BrightRidge said the broadband expansion is made possible by work the utility did last year with the help of $2.47 million in Tennessee Emergency Broadband grants it received in August from the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development. BrightRidge matched that grant funding, which was part of the Coronavirus Relief Fund, with $617,828 in local funds to bring the total cost of the project to $3,089,143. According to a news release from the utility on Thursday, fiber trunk lines installed under the grant funding have allowed BrightRidge to provide broadband to additional customers in need of better internet service.

UPDATE: Fire destroys Sittin Bull building in Gray

As the Christmas lights at the Appalachian Fairgrounds in Gray started twinkling at dusk Wednesday, dozens of emergency vehicle lights flashed too, but at the scene of a fire that destroyed at least four businesses, including the famed Sittin Bull Restaurant at 730 Gray Station Road. “It was about 70 percent involved when we got here,” Gray Volunteer Fire Department safety officer Ed Green said. “We think it may have gotten into the attic space and from there it just took off.” The call came in around 3:15 p.m., according to the 911 dispatch center. Green said there were some propane tanks in one of the buildings that exploded, but firefighters quickly contained that.
