MCNC

MCNC and Fybe, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Roanoke Cooperative, announced the creation of eNCore. This new non-profit collaboration is tasked with bridging the digital divide for residential and business communities throughout rural North Carolina—providing next-generation connectivity and high-speed access to all the modern resources needed to participate in today’s digital economy. 

MCNC will host a groundbreaking ceremony at Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) on Thursday, Sept. 5, to signify the start of MCNC’s HERO (High Speed Economies for Rural Opportunity) Project. MCNC received $11.2 million from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in June 2023 for the HERO Project.
