SEAFORTH – All of Huron County will soon have access to high speed Internet. Comcentric Networking Inc., a company made up of five local independent telephone companies, has been awarded a contract to provide the service. Planner Carol Leeming said Comcentric is projecting an investment totalling about $2.6 million into building and implementing the project. Almost half the county, mostly in northern Huron County, has no access to high-speed Internet. Comcentric is proposing using nine existing structures-silos and feed mills, for example-as towers, and building one new tower. Comcentric president Glenn Grubb hopes to see the towers in operation by Christmas.
