From Park County Commissioner Mike Brazell, this issue consistently came up during his town meetings so he'd like to move forward addressing it. Everyone is welcome. Please fill out the survey below.
I am leading a kick off meeting on Tuesday June 11 at 10 am at the Fairplay Community Center focused on County wide Broadband improvement/development. All the current providers have been invited to participate as well as the school boards and anyone interested in participating is welcome to attend. A broadband survey has gone out to every registered business in the county as this is the first step in identifying to the providers the potential return on investment they could realize. An online survey for residential customers is available at

Broadband is a key part of a community’s infrastructure and is now viewed like water, sewer and electricity. It affects the entire community on many different levels and is the number one question realtors are asked from prospective buyers. Economic development is impacted on our local business to compete globally, employees to telecommute, children and adults benefit from education and seniors are utilizing it to communicate to their families. Currently 30% of our community cannot connect if they chose too and average speeds are slower than required. Broadband is currently defined as 4mb or the equivalent of watching Netflix without buffering.
