How to get information for your area
MnDOT district offices
All utility providers are invited to annual meetings with MnDOT district staff to learn about projects that might provide opportunities for broadband installation.
These meetings, and your district utility coordinators, are the best way for you to find out about opportunities for Broadband installation.
