The Elk River Free Library District was selected for a USDA RUS Community Connect Broadband Grant for the amount of $162,941.00 for a wireless network system.

The system, designed by Paul DeWolfe, P.E., of Access Consulting http://www.access-consulting.net , covers the entire community and connects several critical facilities and the library.
