Finance & Commerce has a nice article about Arvig for their 75th anniversary…
That makes it even more impressive that Arvig, a Perham, Minnesota-based telecommunications company with roots dating to 1950, is not only surviving as it celebrates its 75th anniversary, it’s thriving.
It’s interesting to hear about the layers of technology the company has gone through and catch up with most recent updates…
In recent years, Arvig has helped spearhead efforts to expand high-speed fiber internet access across rural Minnesota through programs such as the federally funded Alternative Connect America Model (A-CAM) and the state-funded Border to Border Broadband Program. This past year, the company announced it would use a $708,790 grant from the state on a fiber network expansion project to bring gigabit internet speeds to 113 structures in Wakefield and Luxemburg townships, south of Cold Spring.
“It’s becoming increasingly important for homes and businesses in rural Minnesota to have access to fiber with gig-level speeds,” said David Arvig, the company’s vice president and COO. “This grant funding helps Arvig close the connectivity gap and put underserved areas on a level playing field.”
