Polk County Press Release - August 26th, 2020

Agreement with Alyrica to Expand Rural Broadband

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - August 26th, 2020

Over the past several years Polk County has been engaging with numerous providers in the area to expand access to broadband services to rural portions of the County. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of this work as more and more of the community is going to school and/or working from home. In response to this community need, Polk County is excited to announce that we have entered into an agreement with Alyrica Networks to vastly expand rural broadband access for the County. It is anticipated that we should have approximately 90% of the County's rural areas covered by the completion of this expansion in the coming months.

If you have any questions about the project feel free to contact the County Board of Commissioners at (503)-623-8173, or Jason Richards from Alyrica at Jason.richards@alyrica.net and (541)-257-8282. 

If you have inquiries regarding whether your home or business will be served by this expansion please contact Alyrica directly at sales@alyrica.net and (541)-929-3330.
