This federal investment for Pioneer Telephone Cooperative will be used to deploy a fiber-to-the-premises network to provide high-speed internet. This network will benefit 75 people, 12 businesses, and eight farms in Lane County. The funding is provided through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) ReConnect Program. “Access to high-speed internet is critical for individuals, families, small businesses, and farms across Oregon,” Merkley said. “Yet many areas still lack reliable service, creating challenges for staying connected in the 21st century economy. This federal investment will expand broadband in Lane County, helping residents strengthen their economies and enhance their quality of life.” ?? | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z |
