AT&T beat out several competitors to win a nearly $40 million public-private partnership deal designed to bring almost ubiquitous fiber coverage to Vanderburgh County, Indiana.
The project aims to cover more than 20,000 homes and businesses across the county and will be fueled by a joint investment, with AT&T contributing $29.7 million and the county an additional $9.9 million. Construction is expected to take two years once a final contract with the county has been signed.
At a recent meeting of the Vanderburgh Board of County Commissioners, Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave said public funding will be made available through the American Rescue Plan Act.
