Two more Sanilac County townships have been named a Smart Rural Community by internet provider, Highline.
The company celebrated Snover and Moore Township, as well as six townships—Lynn, Bark River, Cornell, Ford River, Watertown, and Wells for representing the areas where Highline has connected customers to its gigabit-speed fiber internet. In early 2022, Highline was named a Smart Rural CommunitySM (SRC) provider by NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association.
SRC is a national network of communities powered by innovative rural broadband providers that are building a brighter future for small-town America by supporting innovative economic development, effective education, efficient energy distribution and use, state-of-the-art health care, and other important issues for rural America.
As a result of Highline’s national recognition, all eight of the Sanilac County communities it has connected to real high-speed internet will now be celebrated as Smart Rural Communities in program materials and online at www.smartruralcommunity.com, joining a national network of similarly innovative communities.
Highline first came to the county last February with Watertown Township being its first Smart Rural Community.
