ALLEGAN, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Jan. 13, 2023) – Expansion of broadband availability in Allegan County will be reality by the end of 2024.
The County Board on Thursday formally signed an agreement with suburban Detroit-based 123.NET for connecting about 12,000 addresses, many of which is in and around the Allegan State Game Area, that currently do not have access to download speeds of over 100mb. The deal came about after Chairman Jim Storey of Holland and his fellow commissioners approved an allocation of funds in November for the project.
A Broadband Action Group formed to develop this project went through 11 presentations before recommending 123.NET. Storey added that, once all of the funding for the $70 million initiative is in place, full connectivity should be complete in 18 to 24 months.
