What you are seeing is IdeaTek beginning its rollout of gigabit fiber internet in Emporia. The company, based in Buhler, announced in early August that they were starting construction and making a $14 million investment to bring fast, 100% fiber connectivity to Emporia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Construction began between Union St. and Commercial St. from 12th Ave. to 7th Ave. IdeaTek says certain neighborhoods will be able to access service this fall. The company plans to expand to 10,000 locations across Emporia by the end of 2026. So it is likely you will see construction throughout the city for quite some time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAt IdeaTek, we\u2019re committed to bringing our high-speed fiber internet to every corner of Kansas, and we\u2019re excited to make it a reality in Emporia,\u201d said Daniel Friesen, IdeaTek\u2019s co-founder and chief innovation officer. \u201cTrue fiber internet is the gold standard in internet connectivity.
