Lincoln County: Winning Ubiquitous Coverage

Lincoln County shares top ranking with Red lake and Rock Counties with ubiquitous coverage to broadband at speeds of 100 Mbps down and 20 up.

In 2021, ITC announced a fiber-optic expansion to the City of Ivanhoe in Lincoln County. Along with ITC’s investment in the fiber-optic expansion, this project is funded by the City of Ivanhoe and Lincoln County. And they have been working on improving digital equity with help from the Blandin Foundation.

They continue to earn their green ranking. They’d get gold if we had it!
