Starke County to Host Public Open House to Review Future Broadband Infrastructure

Starke County, IN – Starke County has kicked off the planning process to develop a Broadband Readiness Plan. This plan will identify goals for the next 5-10 years and serve as the roadmap for the development of reliable and affordable high-speed internet technology. As part of the planning process, the County will be hosting an upcoming public open house at the Starke County Annex Building 1, 53 E. Mound Street, Knox, IN 46534 from 5:00-6:30 pm on December 2, 2019. The community is invited to share their input regarding the future infrastructure. The input gathered during this open house will guide the direction of the Broadband Readiness Plan.

The meeting will be an open house format where you can stop by for as little as fifteen minutes to review information and to provide feedback. There will also be a short presentation on the project during the County Commissioners meeting which begins at 6:30pm. To ensure that the plan reflects the values and goals of the community members, the County needs feedback and input from its residents and business owners. All ages, residents, business owners, property owners, visitors, and other interested parties are invited to attend this open house.

Final adoption of the plan is expected in January of 2020. The adopted plan will contain a vision statement, goals, and strategies for improving broadband infrastructure throughout all of Starke County. Do not miss this opportunity on December 2 to participate in the planning and success of Starke County’s future!
