Update on Broadband Internet in Normanna Township:
On Tuesday, April 9, 2024 the St. Louis County Commissioners unanimously approved awarding Normanna Township $400,000 for Broadband Internet. The award is contingent on Mediacom being awarded a Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) grant. Mediacom and Normanna Township are asking for your support. Please either send an email or letter to Mediacom supporting their efforts to bring high speed broadband to Normanna as soon as you can. Your action will definitely make a difference in seeking funds from DEED through Mediacom’s application. It is helpful if you can include why you feel high speed internet is important to you. For example, this could be for work, school, medical appointments or other reasons. You can send your correspondence to Christopher Lord from Mediacom at the following:
1613 Nantahala Beach Road
Gulf Breeze, Florida 32563
or email to: clord@mediacomcc.com
It may be that you are not interested in seeking fiber to the home through this process, we still encourage to send a support letter for the Normanna residents who are interested and need it. Over the past several years when a property owner has fiber to the home/broadband internet it has increased the property value when homes are being sold.
All correspondence will be used in the grant process through St. Louis County and DEED. Now that the St. Louis Commissioners have approved their portion of the process our chances are higher for the DEED grant to be approved. It is very important that Mediacom receive support letters/emails to include with their DEED application. Please show your support by sending in letters or emails as soon as possible. Thank you.
Town Board: Chair Dan Johnson; Supervisor Dennis Gunsolus; Supervisor Tammy Courrege; Clerk/Treasurer Ellen Hanson.
