The Washington Board of Supervisors will meet at 2:30pm today for a work session to discuss broadband internet expansion in Washington County. The issue was talked about in last weeks Supervisors meeting with a representative from Natel Broadband Internet claiming that this new expansion could lead to better coverage for 500 households and 100 businesses in Washington County. A letter of intent was supposed to be signed at last week’s meeting but could not because of a paperwork error.

At the most recent meeting a representative from the Kalona Cooperative Technology Company asked the Board of Supervisors to reconsider giving the project to an outside competitor.
