Colrain, Massachusetts' town-wide broadband project nears completion

Nearly eight years after Colrain (MA) residents approved a bond to fund a town-wide broadband project, that project has just a “handful” of installations left to be completed. About 600 houses in Colrain are now connected to the broadband service. Michael Shuipis, a co-manager of Colrain’s Municipal Light Plant, said he has been “pleasantly surprised” by the number of people in town who have signed onto the service.
