C Spire Completes Mississippi Capital Projects Fund to Expand High-Speed, Broadband Infrastructure

C Spire announced the completion of its allocation of the Mississippi Capital Projects Fund. Through this initiative, the company provided home fiber access to more than 14,000 residences and 18,530 undeveloped lots from Amite to Lincoln to Lamar to Madison to Desoto and Hinds counties. It also positively impacted some of the most underserved communities in Mississippi. C Spire was awarded the grant from the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Capital Projects Fund. The project, administered at the state level by the Office of Broadband Expansion and Accessibility of Mississippi, was part of $164 million in total funds allocated to Mississippi for the construction and deployment of broadband infrastructure to deliver service that reliably meets or exceeds symmetrical speeds of 100Mbps. The completion of this work ahead of schedule and on budget demonstrates C Spire’s commitment to using taxpayer dollars efficiently and providing communities with future-proof infrastructure to serve their long-term technology needs.
