Arizona Broadband Development Grant (ABDG) Program

Project Information

 

With funding from the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) and support from Salt River Project (SRP) and Tucson Electric Power (TEP), Apache County is working with Ethos Broadband to implement a fiber network which connects more than 3,000 homes and businesses in eight communities to high-speed internet. The eight communities will include Alpine, Concho, Eagar, Greer, Nutrioso, Springerville, St. Johns and Vernon. The project consists of fiber to the home (FTTH) utilizing the pre-existing middle mile fiber owned by Ethos Broadband. In addition, Apache County's goal is to create a Wide Area Network (WAN) that will connect all of the county facilities together, ultimately improving productivity and reliability.
