Comcast commits to $9 million to broadband expansion in Kansas

Comcast plans to extend its network to more than 3,400 locations in Spring Hill, Kansas, as it continues efforts to expand its footprint and boost broadband growth. Including the newly announced project, Comcast has publicly disclosed expansions in at least seven states so far in 2022 and won grants for projects in three more. Though Comcast plans to work with the City of Spring Hill on the two-year, $9 million project, city officials noted the build will be solely funded by the operator. No tax dollars or financial investment from the city will go into the project. The project in Spring Hill appears to be the largest of several Comcast is undertaking in its Twin Cities Region, which spans Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Kansas. All told, Comcast could spend more than $15.2 million to connect nearly 6,425 additional locations.
