Before making the decision to begin construction, MCG launched
a survey with the Grinnell Chamber of Commerce which reported that almost 600 Grinnell residents would be interested in the potential new service. The fact that so many potential customers were receptive to the idea helped MCG make its final decision to start building in Grinnell.
On the heels of MCG’s 2020 announcement that they were exploring fiber optic options in Grinnell,
