Terry County Commissioner’s Court met Monday morning to hear a presentation from Resound, a company that builds out internet in rural areas. “We’re asking for right around $800,000 from the county, and what this would allow us to do would be to build the three towers, install the new torana gear, and upgrade Brownfield and Meadows,” said a spokesperson from the company. “$800,000 is about three road graders, so I don’t know,” replied Terry County Judge Wagner. Recently, the FCC awarded the company Resound “just a little over $310 million to build out internet.” The award was a part of rural digital opportunity fund(RDOF). The company representatives explained the goal is to get broadband internet to individuals who live outside of city limits, in more rural areas. Judge Wagner then asked, “have y’all polled Wellman to how many people might need?” Resound said that they did not have an exact number but that Wellman was part of the 850 they had identified as being underserved, “and so we believe most there to be underserved today.”

Keren originally started the business after realizing that there were no shrimp or seafood places in town, and she wanted to be able to support her family with the freedom that owning your own business allows.
