April 3, 2012 - Update

Fairpoint submitted a pre-application letter to receive a ConnectME grant on behalf of the Town of Sweden on Monday April 2nd. They will decide within a few days whether or not they will actually proceed with the application process. As soon as we know for sure, we will post the updated information on this website.

It will be very costly to bring broadband to Sweden and there is no guarantee that even if they actually pursue the grant that they will receive it, as there is a lot of competition for the grant money.

We cannot stress enough how important your letters of support will be if we hope to succeed! Please use the following e-mail address for this project only:

or use regular mail:

Sweden, ME 04040
Thanks!
