ImOn communications breaks ground on $100 million fiber network in Duluth to serve 51,000 homes by 2027 (St Louis County)

Northern New Now reports

A broadband provider is breaking ground on a new fiber network in Duluth, part of what the company estimates is a $100 million investment in local internet infrastructure.

ImOn communications announced the project Wednesday.

The company says the new fiber build will reach about 25,000 homes this year. In 2027, it expects to connect another 26,000.

During construction, crews will install both underground and aerial fiber using existing utility poles. The project will roll out in sections, with work already underway near UMD.
ImOn says residents will get notice before construction begins on their street. Residents interested in service can sign up online.
