An update from Paul Bunyan Communications...

Paul Bunyan Communications is making steady progress on its broadband expansion across parts of Itasca and St. Louis Counties.
Current Construction Areas:
•Itasca County: City of Coleraine
•St. Louis County: Areas of Alango, Angora, Owens, and Sandy Township
Construction is currently in progress. Once construction is complete, crews will begin the fiber splicing phase. The new network is expected to be fully operational by the end of September. At that time, customers who signed up for service in advance will be contacted to schedule service installations.
Future 2025 Expansion Areas:
•Itasca County: City of Bovey and areas of Bearville Township
•St. Louis County: Areas of Balkan, French, Great Scott, Pike, and Wuori Townships, along with the unorganized township located north of Great Scott
Construction in these areas will begin once current projects are completed. The network is expected to be operational and ready for service in these locations by late fall or early winter of 2025.
