Westminster (CO) partners with Google to bring fiber internet to the city

Westminster City (CO) officials have signed a deal with Google Fiber to bring high-speed internet to the city. The deal will make gig-speed fiber internet available to those in the city. Construction of the fiber optic network will start in 2023 in the city's right of way and easements. Service will become available as network segments are completed. Google and the city will team up to create informational materials for people and businesses in the city. Google Fiber participates in the Federal Communication Commission's Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which helps keep people connected to the internet. Eligible homes could get a monthly subsidy of up to $30 toward the cost of high-speed internet. Westminster is now the second Colorado city to get fiber internet. Lakewood announced a partnership with Google in late 2022.
