Comcast recently celebrated a groundbreaking ceremony around its expansion to more than 490 homes in the rural areas of Corcoran. Comcast will bring the entire suite of Xfinity and Comcast Business services to Corcoran in 2024.

Corcoran residents will also be able to take advantage of the company’s Internet Essentials program that provides low-cost, high-speed broadband for income-constrained households. Since its inception in 2011, the program has connected more than 410,000 Minnesota residents. It also participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides qualifying households with a $30 monthly credit toward internet and mobile services.

To help Comcast further expand into Corcoran, the company worked in partnership with Hennepin County and the city of Corcoran to receive funding support from the State of Minnesota’s Border to Border Broadband program that included $1.2 million.

This is just the latest step in Comcast’s Midwest Region’s expansion plans, which recently has brought a whole range of possibilities to Wayzata, and soon into Cologne. And with additional funding support from the State of Minnesota’s Border to Border Broadband program, Comcast will expand further into Rogers, Washington County (such as Stillwater Township) and Nowthen.
