YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! Vermilion Advantage has teamed up with the U of I Extension Office to bring better broadband internet access to Vermilion County and would like for Vermilion County residents to complete a survey. The more participation our County gets in the survey, the better chance we have at receiving the grant to help bring broadband connectivity to our rural areas.
