MN Broadband Line Extension Program
Bringing High-Speed Fiber Internet to More Minnesota Homes
At Red River Communications, we believe everyone deserves access to fast, reliable broadband. That’s why we’re excited to participate in opportunities that help connect rural homes and businesses to our fiber network.
The Minnesota Broadband Line Extension Connection Program, administered by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) Office of Broadband Development, provides financial assistance to help extend existing broadband infrastructure to eligible unserved locations.
If your home or business doesn’t currently have access to reliable high-speed internet, this program may help reduce the cost of extending fiber service to your property.
What Is the Broadband Line Extension Connection Program?
The Broadband Line Extension Connection Program was established by the Minnesota Legislature to help bring broadband service to locations that remain unserved.
The program provides grants to eligible internet service providers to extend existing broadband infrastructure to qualifying homes and businesses. By helping offset construction costs, the program makes it more affordable to connect rural properties that would otherwise be difficult or expensive to serve.
For any other questions, please contact one of the following Red River Communications employees who directly manage and oversee MN Grant Contract Agreements at 701-553-8309: Tom Steinolfson – CEO, Melinda Brekke – CFO, or Dennis Mitchell, Plant Manager.
