Paul Bunyan Communications has completed expanding its all-fiber optic network, the GigaZone, to Balkan Township in St. Louis County, the company announced earlier this week.
The expansion included over 550 homes and business, and those who have signed up for service are being contacted to set up service installation.
“We’re excited to bring our all-fiber optic gigabit broadband expansion to completion in Balkan Township. In a world where high-quality connectivity is essential, not a luxury, this project ensures that the Balkan Township residents and businesses have the advanced broadband services they need to grow and flourish,” Chad Bullock, CEO/General Manager of Paul Bunyan Communications said.
This project is made possible through the Low Density Population Grant Program through the state of Minnesota. This project is estimated to cost $7,526,055, with the State of Minnesota’s Low-Population Density Program grant contributing $5,569,28, Paul Bunyan Communications investing $1,881,513, Angora Township $33,104, and Balkan Township $42,157.
