Broadband Internet Update
Allegan County negotiated a public-private partnership with 123NET and is contributing approximately $17.7 million of the Allegan County American Rescue Plan Act funds to the fiber construction project. 123NET submitted a proposal to the ROBIN (Realizing Opportunities with Broadband Infrastructure Networks) in March 2023 for an additional $30 million. The MIHI (Michigan High Speed Internet) Office announced Initial Grant Recipients in June 2023; 123Net's Allegan County project was the 3rd highest scoring out of 154 projects. The MIHI office expects to announce the final grant award winners in early October.
UPDATES
The Allegan County Broadband Project needs YOUR INPUT! Please visit www.allegancounty.org/broadband to look up your address on our Comprehensive Broadband Project map. We need your help to fine tune the map and ensure not a single house is left out. All grant funding for building fiber to the home is limited to addresses that do NOT already have an option for 100M download speed. Please email Jill Dunham at jdunham@allegancounty.org if you have any questions or the information on the Broadband map is inaccurate for your address.
Note: 123NET will own and operate the open access network. Allegan County will have no role in providing internet service.
Here are some simple ways to identify potential phishing attempts:
Grammar and spelling: many phishing attempts originate outside of
the U.S., so bad grammar or spelling may be a red flag that you're
looking at a fraudulent email.
Emails or phone calls requiring sensitive information: legitimate
companies know the risk of fraud, and will never ask you to provide
financial, login, or sensitive information over the phone or through
email.
Inconsistent email URLs and domains: it is easy to mask an email address
to seem similar to a recognized company, but expanding or clicking
"reply to" the sender will often show an email URL that
does not match the domain of the company they are impersonating in
a phishing attempt.
Too good to be true emails: the Nigerian prince trying to give away
his riches has become a running joke, but one that hits close to home.
If an email seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Suspicious attachments: never open an attachment to an email from
any sender that you haven't verified, period.

Currently, there are five videos available on such topics as shoreline zone, buffer zone, lake zone and others.
