While many of our friends, family, and tenants across Tennessee enjoy high-speed fiber and cable options, folks in Polk County do not. Thankfully, there has been growing interest in improving this. The county commission and some local organizations are actively exploring options.
Polk County’s local electric and broadband company, Volunteer Energy Cooperative, is working on applying for a grant to help them expand broadband access.
To help with this, VEC is asking customers to fill out a support letter and email it to them or print and mail it to them. I encourage any VEC customer to fill this out to help expand broadband access.
The version VEC provided on their Facebook post is in DOCX format which requires office editing software to be installed on your computer. I’ve included some alternative downloads below in case you run into issues with that format.
