12. ADDITION Support Letter to County Grant ProgramApril 5, 2022
To Whom it May Concern,
The Scandia City Council is in support of the Washington County Broadband Grant application
being submitted by Midco to continue bringing broadband internet service to the residents of
Scandia.
The purpose of Washington County’s grant program is to support broadband projects that
provide high-speed, reliable and affordable service to unserved and underserved households
and businesses throughout the county. Our community has a demonstrated need for
broadband service, as verified by the Minnesota DEED Office of Broadband Development
coverage maps and we are confident in Midco’s ability to satisfy and exceed this program’s
goals.
The City of Scandia and Midco have a shared goal of ubiquitous coverage throughout our city.
The proposed broadband grant area will continue to build off broadband investments made by
Midco, the city and the state to reach more of Scandia’s residents, businesses and students and
will provide the strong connection our citizens need today, tomorrow and in the future.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out regarding our support of Midco’s Washington County
Broadband Grant Proposal in the City of Scandia.
Thank you,
Christine Maefsky
Mayor
City of Scandia
