NOTICE!!!
Citizens in Mansfield & DeSoto Parish
During the past few weeks, there has been a vast amount of underground drilling along US Hwy 84 and US Hwy 171. This activity is associated with future internet and broadband connectivity for rural communities in DeSoto and adjoining parishes.
With $1.355 billion in funding allocated through the Infrastructure and Investments and Jobs Act to support broadband access and connectivity throughout the state – the 8th-largest allocation in the nation and 10th-largest per capita – GUMBO 2.0 expands on ConnectLA’s efforts to combat the digital divide in our unserved and underserved communities. GUMBO 2.0 is a program that provides grants to internet service providers and electric co-operatives to expand broadband access in unserved areas of Louisiana.
Swift Fiber is the Internet Service Provider that was awarded funding to install fiber that will bring broadband service to our region. They will have subcontractors placing infrastructure throughout the area for the foreseeable future. As the project progresses, updates will be forthcoming.
Thanks!
