The City of Gary, Indiana is seeking a partner(s) to help deploy ubiquitous, accessible and affordable high-speed broadband to every home and business within the City. The intended plan is to partner with a service provider(s) to build, operate & maintain a government middle mile fiber ring leveraging the City's ARPA funds and working together to obtain additional State funding to ensure the partner deploys commercial and residential retail broadband.
