Bozeman Fiber

Bozeman Fiber was created by the City of Bozeman in 2015 as the lack of true high-speed broadband was identified by the City of Bozeman Economic Development department and the Chamber of Commerce as a missing link to the future growth of our existing businesses and innovative new companies, with the accompanying jobs and wages. A group was formed including the City of Bozeman, Gallatin County, the Bozeman School District and business leaders and funded by 8 banks with a CRA- (Community Reinvestment Act) designated loan. This $4,000,000 was used to create the fiber ring connecting anchor tenants (City of Bozeman, Gallatin County and all of the Bozeman School District buildings) and also servicing the districts of Bozeman. Anchor operations began in the fall of 2016, and commercial operations in February 2017.
