MiBroadband start building FTTH in Fillmore County state Border to Border grant

KIMT-3 reports

MiBroadband has broken ground on installing a fiber network for southeastern Minnesota and northeast Iowa.

The company says it received a $1.1 million state grant and a $2.1 million local match to extend fiber communication service to 257 locations in southern Fillmore County.

“Building a fiber network is expensive for areas with lower population densities. Without the partnership with the State of Minnesota, Fillmore County, and the City of Preston this would not be happening,” says MiBroadband CEO Jill Huffman.
