Gap: lack of high-speed internet. The city completed a Google-funded feasibility study in 2014, secured initial funding in 2015, designed the network in 2016, built it out in early 2019, and went live in late 2019. The SWA Board worked with the City of Maupin, MCEDD, and other partners in the early stages to support bringing broadband to South Wasco. The City of Maupin completed the project in late 2019, with support from MCEDD.
