RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – Google Fiber is ramping up its expansion plans for the second time this month after a hiatus on growth of four years.
The latest move comes in Millcreek, Utah, which is near Provo where Google Fiber launched one of its networks.
“Provo was one of the earliest Google Fiber cities — there, we built great relationships grounded in the city’s vision to connect an entire community to high-speed internet. That experience led us north to Salt Lake City, where we’ve been building, in the more traditional sense, a from-scratch fiber network to deliver gigabit internet to homes and businesses across Utah’s capital city,” wrote Jacob Brace, Government & Community Affairs Manager for Google Fiber in Utah, in a blog post.
“As we finally near completion of construction in Salt Lake City, we’re not ready to stop growing in Utah. So, we’re excited to announce that we’ll continue to build our network into the neighboring city of Millcreek.”
Last week, Google Fiber signed on as the “first tenant” on a city-owned fiber network to be built in West Des Moines, Iowa.
