Lumos invests over $50 million in North Carolina fiber optic expansion project
(UI) – Lumos, a 100% fiber optic internet service provider in the Mid-Atlantic, announced an investment of over $50 million in Johnston and Harnett County, North Carolina, to bring its 100% fiber optic internet services to the area. These expansions mark the company’s fourth and fifth new market announcement in 2023.
Lumos will provide fast, reliable internet to portions of the Johnston County communities of Benson, Clayton, Four Oaks, Selma and Smithfield, as well as those in Harnett County, including areas of Dunn, Angier, Coats, Erwin and Buies Creek. Lumos will be the first fiber optic internet provider for some homes in these communities, changing the lives of many families with affordable access to a network advanced enough for their current and future digital needs.
“Lumos is changing the definition of internet connection in communities across North Carolina,” said Brian Stading, Lumos CEO. “We believe that all towns, not just the big cities, should have access to a fast and reliable broadband connection.”
In today’s digital age, a fast and reliable internet connection isn’t a nice to have; it’s a necessity.
“We would like to thank Lumos for their investment in fiber optic internet for our Harnett County residents,” said Desiree Patrick, Harnett County Community Relations Director. “This announcement is great news for Harnett County. One of our strategic actions is to increase the availability of high-speed broadband throughout the County – this investment allows us to do just that.”
Through partnerships, the company plans to be a premier corporate citizen in the community, bringing economic development and connectivity to residents. Lumos’ expansion will not only change the landscape for homeowners, schools and businesses, but it will also bring job opportunities. Engineering work will begin in 2023.
