The City of Clarendon will be seeking a qualified firm to expand broadband service here following a special meeting of the city council last Thursday, October 27.
Aldermen approved an agreement to have the Panhandle Regional Planning Commission draw up language for a Request For Qualifications (RFQ) that will be used to solicit potential Internet providers, according to City Administrator David Dockery.
The city hopes to entice a company to offer better and more reliable internet service to Clarendon businesses and residences and is willing to put up $160,000 in ARPA (COVID relief) money to help fund the rollout of improved service.
