Former Blandin Broadband Community, Leech Lake Reservation has seen gradual progress toward ubiquitous broadband.
In December 2022, Leech Lake Band was awarded $18 million in federal funding to directly connect 4,399 unserved households. (Learn more.)
Throughout 2023, they hosted a number of events to encourage customers to sign up for ACP (Affordable Connectivity Program) federal subsidies to help offset costs for customers. Unfortunately, ACP was discontinued in 2024.
In October 2023, I had the opportunity to check out the Deer River/Leech Lake Community Teen Hub to see up close what an impact broadband has had in getting kids excited and engaged after school. Great to see broadband being used so creatively.
