Connect Up Carver Expansion (CUCE)

WHAT IS CONNECT UP CARVER EXPANSION (CUCE) 2.0?

On December 12, 2023 the Carver County Board adopted the 2024 Property Tax Levy and Budget, which included $2.5 million in one time funding to expand CarverLink's ongoing Connect Up Carver rural fiber build project with the Connect Up Carver Expansion.  This funding is planned to be used to construct an additional 80+ miles of rural fiber that would make fiber internet available to the remaining 440+ rural locations in Carver County that when complete, based on the County's analysis of all all already completed and ongoing efforts, would make fiber internet available to all rural locations in Carver County by December 2024.  This funding would also assist in building out fiber the majority of the city areas of Victoria and Chanhassen.  The dark blue areas in the image below are the service areas that new fiber would be installed.
