GOOGLE FIBER EXPANDING TO RIVERTON
On Tuesday, December 14, 2021, the Riverton City Council approved a license agreement that sets the foundation for Google Fiber to expand into Riverton. The agreement will allow Google Fiber to install and maintain a fiber optic network infrastructure in public right-of-way owned by Riverton City.

“Having heard from numerous residents about the need for more internet options, Riverton City’s elected officials have made broadband connectivity a priority,” said Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs. “We are thrilled that Google Fiber has chosen Riverton as their next city to expand into and look forward to our residents and businesses having another option for high-speed internet.”
