LAKEFIELD — Humidity and intermittent showers did not deter a group from gathering at Southwest Minnesota Broadband Services (SWMBS) Operations Center Friday afternoon for a groundbreaking ceremony.
After much anticipation, construction will kick off Monday for fiber-optic cables, which will provide high-speed Internet to eight surrounding communities: Jackson, Lakefield, Round Lake, Bingham Lake, Brewster, Wilder, Heron Lake and Okabena.
“Broadband Internet levels out the playing field across the nation, the world,” said Colleen Landkamer of U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development, during the ceremony.
