One week after the Board of Harvey County Commissioners agreed to provide $75,000 in funding toward broadband infrastructure as part of an IdeaTek grant proposal, commissioners upped their contribution to $250,000. James Krstolich, community relations manager of IdeaTek, opened his pitch for more funding by thanking commissioners for the county’s commitment of $75,000. He said he understood the need for expanded broadband in Harvey County and how bad some areas were. He noted that the original grant proposal planned to provide service to 150 homes, but his company expanded its proposal to include the City of Walton. Its new proposal could provide service to 672 homes or businesses.
