A landmark fiber internet project is underway in Wann between Atlas Broadband and the Oklahoma Broadband Office.

 

Executive Director of the Oklahoma Broadband Office Michael Sanders says the project is life-changing.

 

The $1.5 million project between Atlas Broadband and the Oklahoma Broadband Office was funded through federal grants awarded by the Oklahoma Broadband Governing Board. The project in Wann is part of a major expansion effort from the Oklahoma Broadband Office to connect more people with faster internet.

 

Sanders says many will benefit from this expansion.

 

In Wann, the project will bring high-speed fiber internet to 80 homes. Wann Mayor of Wann Mike Stainbrook says this could spur economic growth.

 

The celebration for the historic project was held on Friday afternoon.
