Sierra foothills economic development nonprofit gets federal funding to expand broadband

According to this report in TheUnion.com, the Sierra Economic Development District is getting a $190,000 grant from the USDA Rural Business Enterprise Grant program.

The funds will be loaned to local Internet providers -- in this case apparently Wireless Internet Service Providers or WISPs -- to help extend their services.
