GUMBO grant helps unserved area get broadband for the first time

Some Louisiana communities have never had high-speed, affordable internet access, but thanks to REV Business and the GUMBO grant program, these areas are finally getting connected. REV was established in 2020 as a combination of former telecommunications companies RTC, EATEL, and Vision Communications. With 2,790 miles of fiber and more than 60,000 customers, REV serves multiple parishes in south Louisiana including parts of Lafourche, Terrebonne, St. James, St. John the Baptist, Ascension, Livingston, and East Baton Rouge. REV is just one of the many companies throughout Louisiana taking the initiative to connect unserved communities with high-speed internet. The company's project in Lafourche Parish is complete, and soon many other projects throughout the state will bring drastic internet improvements.
