Maine Middle Mile Fiber Award Will Benefit Over 6,600 Locations

Coverage Type: 

An $11 million investment in regional infrastructure is planned to bring high-speed, low-latency connectivity to more than 6,600 locations in western Maine. These are sites that either don’t currently have access to the internet or have access to slower broadband or copper-based connections. The funding for the project, which entails building more than 450 miles of fiber, was announced by FirstLight, a provider of digital infrastructure services. The Maine Connectivity Authority made the agreement with FirstLight to receive the funding. The grant is part of a statewide initiative in Maine called the Partnerships for Enabling Middle Mile (PEMM).
