Is it from a major ISP? From what I've seen in just about every rural area around me, municipalities have had to roll out their own fiber lines at their own expense and still offer internet at a fraction of the price of any of the national companies that received these billions of dollars in handouts from the government.
Yes, it was federal dollars to an ISP and not the municipality. This particular municipality would never do such a thing regardless of incentive.
