Here’s a quick status report on Scandia’s Internet expansion project:
• We began with 852 homes already connected to high-speed broadband (gigabit download
speed available) from MidCo.
• Our goal is to average 200 homes per year over five years.
• During the 2020 construction season we added a total of 256 homes.
• During the 2021 construction season we added a total of 170 homes.
• For 2022 we expect to add 161 homes, but this number may go up once the construction plans
are finalized.
If this year’s project moves ahead as planned our 3-year total will be 587 homes added, only a bit under
our goal.
For the remaining two years (2023-2024) we anticipate additional funding from federal, state and
county grants that will help us finish the expansion as planned. These funds will be critical as we’re
moving into areas that are more expensive to build.
