At last Monday’s meeting of the Brown County Commission, Angie Kreider of Rainbow Communications presented the company’s plan to install fiber line to residences in Hiawatha, Horton and Sabetha.
Kreider said the materials are purchased and that work is projected to begin in 2024 and to take approximately 3 years to complete. Rainbow will foot the entire $14.1 million bill for the project, which will cover over 7,000 residents in the three towns. Rainbow ran fiber to businesses in 2014 and it was explained that this expansion of that fiber network is due to residents needing faster internet speeds to keep up with things such as modern work- or school-at-home internet speed requirements.
