Red Lake County can continue bask in the glory of their second year with ubiquitous broadband. They share top ranking with Lincoln and Rock Counties.

• Over the years, Ramsey County (or cities within) has not invested in matches for any successful MN Broadband grants.
• Ramsey County will not benefit from a 2024 MN Broadband grant.
• Ramsey County will not benefit from line extension awards.
• Last years’ estimates indicated that it would cost 0 to get ubiquitous broadband in the county. (I haven’t updated the number because recent report offers scenarios of costs based on BEAD funding rules that make current estimates less predictable than in the past. Yet, I think the number is still helpful.)
• In 2022, Ramsey ranked 13 using Microsoft’s Digital Equity Tool, which looks at various factors of a community.
