Colton, South Dakota (pop. 738) sits in a rural part of Minnehaha County and had been stuck on dial up and DSL.

Thanks to a 2018 FCC initiative, Denny and his crew have been trenching in miles of high-speed fiber.

Good to visit with @SenJohnThune today. #CarrTrip

[Denny Law @dlawsd]

Great to have @BrendanCarrFCC and @SenJohnThune visit @GoldenWestCoop fiber broadband project near Colton,SD and see firsthand the importance of the FCC’s USF high-cost program in deploying and sustaining high quality broadband in rural areas.

It is amazing to think that the State of South Dakota has over $269.5 million invested in broadband expansion since 2019.  We still have a long way to go but everyone involved is working hard to get high-speed broadband access to every South Dakotan!
