The Warren County Commissioners are moving ahead on an agreement with Youngsville Television Corp. in the ongoing effort to expand the county’s limited broadband internet capacity.

A resolution to pursue a federal funding opportunity was approved by YTV last week and will be before the commissioners during Wednesday’s meeting.

Commissioner Tricia Durbin said the grant process, if successful, would result in an additional build out of the fiber needed to transport high speed internet.

Commissioner Ben Kafferlin said that the county has given them attention to the county’s grants.gov account but noted they can’t submit without approval from the county.

Solicitor Nathanial Schmidt said this grant is involved — 44 pages — and said there would need to be some cooperation between the county and YTV including “some kind of kick off meeting in the near future to get that started.”

In other news, Commissioner Jeff Eggleston said he wants to bring the Pennsylvania Wilds to discuss an initiative aimed at recruiting remote workers in the region at a future work session. He said he’d like Warren to get in on the “ground floor” and said this effort would tie into a proposed co-working space.

On the co-working space, Commissioner Ben Kafferlin said he is waiting on electronics to be installed – security camera, routers, internet, TVs.

It’s likely that opening is just weeks away after several years of development.
