Company brings fast, reliable connectivity to Franklin County, Indiana
What happened? Frontier (NASDAQ: FYBR) has finished the first phase of expanding fiber broadband in rural Indiana. We received grants from the state to bring high-speed internet to underserved areas, and we’ve successfully completed our work in Franklin County.
Why it matters: The prompt completion of our expansion in Franklin County, Indiana, will help boost economic and educational opportunities for the County’s residents and businesses. In partnership with the state, we will continue to expand access to other rural communities, including Bloomberg Grove, Indiana.
The broader context: We’ve now won more than $4.6 M in Next Level Connections grant funding in Indiana.
Handy quote: “As we receive funding to expand access to our high-speed reliable internet in rural, underserved communities, we are delivering on those projects in a reliable and timely manner. Our strong partnership with the state allows us to build high-speed fiber internet in parts of Indiana that are lacking the critical connectivity needed to learn, grow, and prosper in today’s increasingly digital world,” said Veronica Bloodworth, Chief Network Officer.
Indiana Quote: “Communities like Franklin County, that are largely rural with low population density, often lack resources for residents to access the internet. By expanding access to fiber internet, companies like Frontier are helping students, families, and business owners (small and large) to unlock major opportunities,” said John Palmer, President of Franklin County, Indiana. “It makes it possible for local businesses to compete on a more level playing field and reach a wider audience. The availability of high-speed fiber internet access makes Franklin County more attractive to new residents and businesses to locate here. I would like to thank Frontier for investing in our community and helping expand this vital technology.”
