TAMWORTH — A group working to bring faster and better internet to Carroll County has been awarded a federal grant to create plans to make that happen.
Carroll County Broadband, through the North Country Council, along with three partner organizations (CTC Technologies in Maryland, and Rural Innovative Strategies and ValleyNet, both in Vermont) were awarded a $250,000 USDA Rural Community Development Initiative grant to do feasibility studies and/or develop business plans to bring fiber-based broadband internet to several communities in the Eastern United States including Carroll County. The announcement came earlier this month.
