USDA Rural Development announced more than $14.5 million in financing for a West Wisconsin Telecom Cooperative fiber-to-the-premises project. The planned network expansion covers Buffalo, Chippewa, Dunn, Eau Claire, Pepin, Pierce and St. Croix counties.

The financing comes through USDA’s Telecommunications Infrastructure Loans and Loan Guarantees program. USDA said the project will improve access for residents, businesses, farms and schools, but the release did not specify premises passed, construction timing or a quantified job total.
