Lee County Adds More To Broadband Project

BY HANNAH GOLDFINGER HGOLDFINGER@ OPELIKAOBSERVER.COM

LEE COUNTY —

The Lee County Commission amended projects under the Lee County Broadband Expansion Grant Program during Monday night’s meeting.

The Broadband Expansion Grant Program is a product of funds from the American Rescue Plan Funds. Broadband expansion was one of the allowed uses for that money.

“On [May 30, 2023], the Lee County Commission approved four specific priority project areas totaling 39.7 miles to expand broadband fiber optic infrastructure and services to unserved areas,” said County Administrator Holly Leverette. “We were notified recently that several of the roads in the counties’ priorities are also currently funded rural-digitalopportunity-fund grant projects that are already in place. This is a federal project where we can’t comingle our funds. So those are already set projects.” That means the county needed to remove roads from its projects, Leverette said, though those areas will still be serviced. The county will not be able to control the timeline, though, she said.

“We were able to add an additional 5.1 miles to the overall priority projects totaling 44.8 miles, so in the end, we’re gaining more mileage, and all of the roads that we had to remove are going to be funded,” she order to reclassify the Stormwater Management Coordinator non-exempt position from pay grade 18 to pay grade 22.

• The council approved a two-year lease agreement in the amount of $1,200 a month with Petrina Properties LLC for the property located at 105E N. 10th St. in Opelika.

• The council said.

The application is also being updated, Leverette said. The application will indicate that if an area is already covered federally it cannot be covered by the county. Applications opened Aug. 1 and will close Sept. 15.
