Spectrum<\/a> is expanding service to nearly 800 homes and small businesses in Ottawa County<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The expansion will cover previously unserved or underserved areas in various townships, including Chester, Crockery, Grand Haven, Polkton and Wright.<\/p>\n

The move is part of Spectrum’s multi-year rural construction initiative, which involves a $7 billion private investment. The project aims to add more than 100,000 miles of fiber-optic network infrastructure and deliver internet access to over 1.7 million new locations across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpectrum is bringing gigabit broadband to unserved communities in Michigan and across America,\u201d Christopher Spray, area vice president of field operations, wrote in a community release. \u201cOur investment is providing residents and small businesses superior connectivity at highly competitive prices.”<\/p>\n

The expansion has been welcomed by local officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleased to learn of Spectrum\u2019s network expansion, which will bring much-needed service to thousands of Michigan families,\u201d wrote U.S. Rep. John Moolenaar. \u201cThis construction is a welcome addition to the community and will provide greater economic opportunities for residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

State Sen. Roger Victory also expressed his support for the expansion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to help from Spectrum, we are bringing high-speed internet access to over 700 residents and businesses in Ottawa County,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIn the digital age, it’s important for rural communities, like those in the 31st District, to have the ability to utilize the digital tools increasingly needed to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

More: <\/strong>Ottawa County has dreamed of an enormous public park for decades. It’s coming to fruition<\/a><\/p>\n

State Rep. Luke Meerman emphasized the importance of reliable internet access in rural communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpectrum is expanding in the areas that need it most,\u201d he wrote. \u201cExpanded digital infrastructure is key for rural job providers and workers, and this expansion will benefit our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
