The N.C. Department of Information Technology and Roanoke Connect Holdings (Fybe) have partnered to provide fiber-optic broadband infrastructure to more than 2,164 homes and businesses across Granville County as part of the Completing Access to Broadband program.
Fybe will invest $973,276 and the State of North Carolina will provide $2,270,978 in CAB grant funding. Fybe will have two years to complete the required installation once final contracts are approved and executed.
