Minto councillors support county’s broadband initiative

Al­though Well­ington County’s rural broad­band project has the support of Minto council, it is not quite as clear when it might actually happen.

As council recently review­ed the matter from a previous meeting, Mayor David Ander­son said there is provincial fund­ing available for the project.

However, deputy-mayor Judy Dirksen said assuming the application is a success, the question local residents are look­ing for is, “When will it be implemented?”

She asked if it would be six months or six years.

Treasurer Gord Duff said it would likely take a year to implement.

He also stressed that the project would still not provide service to all of Minto – and would be looking at providing service where it is most cost effective.
