Arvig Brings Connectivity to Minnesota Counties

WASHINGTON, May 13, 2026 – Arvig, a Minnesota-based telecommunications provider, has begun construction on an upgrade project this spring. The project will bring last-mile fiber connectivity to 446 structures in eight Minnesota Counties. 

The company is using the $3.4 million from the state’s Broadband Line Extension program after submitting the lowest-cost bids to serve the location. Arvig will invest an additional $442,000 to cover remaining project costs, with the grand total of the project being $3.87 million. 

After completion later this year, 104.3 route miles of new fiber will have been constructed. The Minnesota counties receiving an upgrade will get a varying number of structures.
