This grant provides funding to MCNC to extend fiber and MCNC’s services into Guilford, Montgomery, Richmond and Randolph counties. Using its own funds, MCNC will acquire rights of use for 90 miles of middle mile fiber. Golden LEAF funds will be used to construct additional fiber and install the necessary equipment to operate MCNC’s network. The services will be located within a mile of 23 community anchor institutions, including Randolph Community College, Randolph Hospital, and medical offices, schools and libraries.
