Connect Champaign County Rural Fiber Project Groundbreaking

Volo aiming to get high-speed internet to all of rural Champaign County over next 5 years

CHAMPAIGN — Over the next five years, it should get quite a bit easier to get connected in rural Champaign County.

 

A $48.4 million initiative, supported by American Rescue Plan Act funds, is getting underway to bring broadband internet access to areas of the county that don’t consistently have it.

 

The main obstacle to the effort thus far? Getting in touch with landowners.
