Construction Begins on County-Owned Fiber Network in NY

Rural residents of Madison County, New York will get access to better broadband thanks to action being taken by the county government.

The Madison County Rural Broadband Network will bring 100/100 Mbps broadband to nearly 1,100 underserved households and businesses in the central New York county southeast of Syracuse. Another 6,504 homes will also have access to the network. The first fiber hut was placed on November 3rd.

The project is funded by a USDA ReConnect grant of $12.8 million that was announced in 2021. The Madison County will own the network and partner with Empire Access to provide services.
