MINOT Residents on Friday voted overwhelmingly in favor of a $15 million plan that will expand broadband service throughout the town. The tally was 120-3.
Voters were asked if they support a plan to appropriate $100,000 from surplus to serve as a ConnectME Authority Grant match. The town is partnering with FirstLight to expand broadband service to underserved parts of the town and will cover about 50% of the residences that do not have adequate internet access.
“This is a great opportunity for the town to bring broadband to about half the homes currently lacking internet access,” Colleen J. Quint, chairwoman of the committee on the broadband issue, said earlier in the month, “and by using undesignated fund balance we can cover the town’s share of the project without needing to raise new funds or impact taxes of the townspeople.”

MINOT Selectmen voted recently to delay town meetings in response to the governor’s executive order on social distancing. They also rescheduled the municipal election as they prepare for a public hearing on the matter of town broadband service.
According to Town Administrator Danielle Loring, selectmen voted to postpone the town meeting to May or June because the current executive order only allows 50 people to gather indoors. They feel it is important, Loring said, to try and uphold the traditions of the town versus holding a referendum vote at the polls.
