McCaskill Mayor Marion Hoosier recently signed an agreement with Southwest Arkansas Telephone for a grant award for fiber optic high speed internet service for the north Hempstead County town.  The grant for the McCaskill/Blevins area is over $3.6 million dollars.   According to Mayor Hoosier, the distribution route has been reviewed and a final “house to house” map will be compiled for the engineers.  After the map is compiled, each resident will be contacted and a community meeting will follow to answer questions.  Mayor Hoosier said the project has a complete date of September 2023.
