CORTLAND, NY (607NewsNow) — Cortland County is investing in broadband.

Legislator Beau Harbin says after a vote was defeated in June, another attempt this month was successful.

The agreement, which was reached at a special meeting on July 17, comes with a critical time constraint.

Harbin adds the project is only the start of more investment into expanding access to high-speed internet in rural parts of Cortland County.
