Iron County Decides Broadband Bond Too Risky

Iron County Board of Supervisors earlier this week decided against joining a multi-county bond to support financing for a company to install broadband infrastructure in rural areas. The board had approved a non-binding resolution in September to study the bond issue and held a public hearing earlier this month.
