Boone County Fiscal Court, Cincinnati Bell Partner to Offer County-Wide High-Speed Internet<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

BOONE COUNTY, Ky.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nThe Boone County Fiscal Court approved a partnership with Cincinnati Bell Inc. on March 23, 2021, that will result in the development of a one gigabit high-speed broadband fiber network available to every address in the county. This robust fiber network will be deployed within an accelerated 24-36 month time frame.\n<\/p>\n

\nAs access to reliable high speed internet has become an essential public service for residents and businesses to address work-from-home, virtual learning, telemedicine and many other essential daily activities, this partnership will ensure no areas of our county are left behind and will improve the quality of life for Boone County citizens now and into the future. The Boone County Fiscal Court\u2019s commitment of $13.6 million will leverage a Cincinnati Bell investment of more than $30 million to implement the project.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe broadband expansion will place Boone County at the technological forefront as one of the very first county governments in the nation to deliver access to one gigabit high-speed broadband service to every address in its jurisdiction. A distinctive element of this project will include a last-mile, complete fiber build-out, capable of delivering speeds of one gigabyte. This access will be delivered via a state-of-the-art \u201cFiber to the Premise\u201d network (FTTP).\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cDelivering access for every address in the County to high-speed service is critical in creating a high quality of life environment and positioning our county as a community of choice for residents and businesses,\u201d said Boone County Judge\/Executive Gary Moore. \u201cThe partnership with Cincinnati Bell will leverage significant private capital investment that would not have been made without the commitment of the Fiscal Court, solidifying our position at the forefront of economic development, innovation and focusing on the needs of our citizens.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nUnder terms of the partnership:\n<\/p>\n
