The Cloquet Broadband Vision: To ensure access to affordable, reliable, high-speed fiber internet delivered by a committed capable community partner skilled in maintaining and operating a successful broadband network.
In December 2022, it was announced that the City of Cloquet, in partnership with Consolidated Telephone Company (CTC), secured funding from the Border-to-Border Broadband program, which is administered by the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED)’s Office of Broadband Development.
The grant of $4.8 million supports the “CTC Woods to Waters Broadband Initiative,” a “last mile project” designed to deliver fiber-to-the-premise service with symmetrical 1 gigabit speeds to underserved areas in rural central and northeastern Minnesota.
Project Highlights:
• The network will service 246 homes
• Includes 22 miles of mainline fiber and 11 miles of drop fiber
• Estimated total project cost is $1.8 million
• Construction is underway and is expected to be completed by fall
• Splicing will take place this fall and winter
• Installations are planned to begin in late winter or early spring
“We’re incredibly excited about this partnership. This project will be
instrumental for families and businesses as well as for future economic
growth in these communities. We look forward to providing everyone with
fast, reliable internet and top-notch local customer service for years to
come,” said Joe Buttweiler, Chief Strategy Officer.
