The ConnectME Authority voted June 7 to award Alna all the money the town asked for, to expand high-speed net access to 81 homes on Cross, West Alna and Lothrop Roads, practically all the ones that do not have service. The money will join with $40,500 from Time-Warner, the provider that will complete the project and sell subscriptions to the service.

The service should be in place by this time next year, a Time-Warner spokesman said.
