The need for high-speed broadband connectivity in Morehead and Rowan County has never been greater. COVID-19 has shown all of us the importance of having fast, reliable internet in our homes and business to facilitate e-learning, e-commerce, and tele-work.
That is why the Rowan County Fiscal Court has issued a Request for Proposals seeking a qualified and willing partner to review the current status of broadband availability, to develop a plan for the construction of an expanded network to address the deficient areas in the County, and to partner with the County to construct and operate the required middle-mile and last-mile infrastructure.
This infrastructure will be used to provide broadband services in the areas of the County currently not served or currently underserved (and where existing providers do not plan to serve).
Interested parties are encouraged to download the RFP and supporting documents below.
The final submittal date is August 2, 2021. Please contact the Rowan County Judge-Executive’s office for questions regarding this project.
