US Route 30 Middle Mile Infrastructure Project

This Request for Proposal (RFP) is issued by BroadbandOhio, a division of the Ohio Department of Development, to find an eligible project proposal for expanding commercially available middle-mile broadband infrastructure along the entire US Route 30 corridor. The project aims to establish a fiber route, potentially between Canton and Lima, that prioritizes the needs of local stakeholders and is intended to reduce the cost and feasibility barriers for last-mile internet service providers (ISPs). This project is supported by a multi-million dollar state appropriation and will likely include establishing a Point-of-Presence (POP) in the North Central Ohio area.
