Ground was broken Tuesday on four rural broadband projects in Fillmore County.
MiBroadband was the recipient of $5.15 million in grants from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development Border-to-Border Program in 2022 and 2023. The company says those grants are now helping build out fiber service to areas north of Fountain and Preston and pockets of two rural areas in southern rural Preston. In addition, MiBroadband is also breaking ground on a self-funded $1.5 million project to bring fiber to the city of Fountain. …
MiBroadband says the projects will provide the fastest and most reliable internet service available to 781 locations.
