Fiber for Warren Broadband Project Ribbon Cutting at Chamber of Commerce

By Josh Shortt

Bowling Green, Kentucky – An act of teamwork and partnership was celebrated today, one relating to reliable internet connection coming for all Warren County residents.

From a partnership between Warren Rural Electric and NCTC, along with a $10 million grant from Warren County Fiscal Court, the fiber for Warren broadband project seeks to provide reliable internet for all of Warren County.

The ribbon-cutting was held at the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce Thursday morning.

President and CEO of Warren RECC Dewayne McDonald says he’s thrilled to see it all come together.

“This is exciting for all of us. In a way, it’s been a long time coming, at the same time, since the two groups Warren Electric and NCTC have partnered, this has been extremely fast. We’re truly excited to make this announcement that will benefit members of Warren Electric and Warren County,” McDonald.

Fiber Update

Partnership between NCTC and Warren RECC will bring fiber broadband to approximately 14,000 homes in Warren County

NCTC and Warren RECC recently entered into a $10 million agreement to help cover the cost to expand their fiber-optic network to an additional 14,000 homes in Warren County. The expansion will provide access to better-quality high-speed internet in underserved areas of the county.

This is an exciting development for Warren County! Fiber optic internet is a powerful tool that helps support growth and innovation for local businesses and provides a reliable connection for residents who use the internet to work, study, or for entertainment. Unlike copper cables, fiber can transport large amounts of data over long distances without slowing down or suffering external interferences. NCTC and Warren RECC are working diligently to secure even more funding in order to serve as many residents as possible and bring life-changing fiber broadband to households and businesses across the region.

The project build is predicted to take approximately 24 months and will be built in sections. As each section is completed, we will be able to hook up customers. The sections will be built in an order that allows the quickest possible overall completion.

After Warren RECC’s build is completed, NCTC will provide all aspects of internet service, including installation, billing, customer service, and more. Customers will also be able to choose broadband packages with speeds up to 1 gigabit.
