County not giving Clearwater Broadband Foundation $3.48 million loan
Clearwater County will not be loaning the Clearwater Broadband Foundation a loan worth up to $3.48 million dollars after an intense back and forth discussion and tight council vote.
At council’s regular council meeting on May 9, councillors voted 4-3 on the decision.
“We’ve been talking about this for months and years and I think we are wanting to do something about our wireless” said Councillor John Vandermeer, who was in favour of giving the CBF the loan.
Other councillors who were also in favour of the loan were Jim Duncan and Theresa Laing. Kyle Greenwood, Curt Maki, Earl Graham and Pat Alexander were opposed.
