You may want to zoom in and/or scroll in on the map when your location is close to a boundary.
Southwestern Nevada County
South of US 278 and west of Nevada 17 to the Hempstead County and Columbia County lines. Includes Azor, Union, Bodcaw, Whites Chapel, Shiloh, Falcon, and Clevet Springs.
Current Broadband Internet:
Back to all CBGs.
- Walnut Hill Telephone already serves its telephone customers in and around Falcon with broadband internet. It has completed construction of projects funded by ARConnect - ARPA / Arkansas Rural Connect (ARC).
- South Central Connect already serves its electrical customers in the area with broadband internet.
- Walnut Hill Communications has completed construction of ARConnect-ARPA funded projects in this area.
- South Central Connect has completed construction of RDOF funded projects in the area.
- SpaceX is the BEAD grant selectees for 3 unserved, underserved and unfunded locations in this area, the Nevada County portion of Project Area Footprint 254. Service will be provided by low earth orbit (LEO) satellite.
- BEAD grants must be completed within four years of the award date, so that means before the end of 2030.
- President Trump's "Benefit of the Bargain" replaced the originally-planned fiber optic service for these 3 locations with low earth orbit (LEO) satellite service, which is generally regarded as having lower speed potential and carrying a much higher price for end users than that of fiber optic service.
- The Nevada County Broadband Committee has grave concerns for permanently impaired internet service to these 3 locations
because BEAD and other grants did not provide the funding and ISPs may never find other means to extend
fiber optic internet service:
- Texas Eastern Transmission facility at 227 County Road 112 and 393 Nevada 112
- The residence at 146 County Road 138, which is just a few hundred feet from Columbia County
- These 3 locations may have been omitted from the fiber deployment of South Central Connect because they likely receive power from Entergy instead of the South Central Electric Cooperative.
- Since portions of this area are in Brightspeed's telephone service area, those locations are likely to have broadband internet service when the company converts copper lines to fiber.
