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.
Volo.net Internet + Tech is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Outside Plant Construction and Materials for the CONNECT Champaign County Rural Fiber Project.
We invite interested parties to submit their proposals to assist in bringing fiber internet to rural areas of Champaign County. This project will play a crucial role in enhancing broadband access to underserved communities.
