Combined with WOW!'s $1.02 million contribution, a total of
$3.41 million will be invested to
grow WOW!'s network in Houston and
Henry Counties in southeastern
Alabama, targeting underserved
areas
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- WOW! Internet,
TV & Phone (NYSE: WOW), a leading broadband services provider,
today announced the company has accepted a $2.39M grant through the Alabama Department of
Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) program. These funds
represent an addition to WOW!'s contribution of $1.02 million, for a total investment of
$3.41 million. WOW! will use the
funds to extend its fiber network to serve nearly a
thousand homes in Houston and
Henry Counties in southeastern
Alabama.
The ADECA program works to positively impact Alabama communities through partnerships,
grant programs, and services to spur community and economic
development and enhance quality of life. This grant will allow WOW!
to primarily target underserved areas that can benefit from
additional broadband options. In southeastern Alabama, WOW! currently serves the communities
of Headland in Henry County and Dothan in Houston
County.
"We thank ADECA for this generous grant to complement WOW!'s
investment in the area as we look to offer more Alabama residents and businesses dependable
options to meet their array of broadband needs, particularly in
areas that currently have a lack of reliable and high-speed
options," said Teresa Elder, CEO of
WOW!. "As we continue to focus on innovating for our customers,
this additional expansion in southeastern Alabama, alongside our wider market expansion
efforts, highlights our continued progress and commitment to
bringing more communities our state-of-the-art broadband
services."
Once services are launched, even more residents in Houston and Henry Counties will experience WOW!'s
reliable, high-speed network. Subscribers can sign up for WOW!'s
all-fiber network and Internet plans with all-inclusive pricing, no
annual contracts and no data caps, along with the necessary WiFi
equipment to get started. WOW!'s broad suite of offerings also
includes WOW! mobile powered by Reach, comprehensive business
solutions, and bundling options with YouTube TV, one of the most
popular and robust live TV video services.
