TEVA is running fiber now starting with the more populated areas, the rural Delta will be last area to get service. I was told it is in year 2 of the 5 year construction project about a month ago by an employee.
Last week, contractors are stringing cable on the main road toward Crowder, MS.
Is this a result of the grant or normal part of the 5 year project?
Hopefully, TEVA has turned up the constuction as there are several contractors working all around me.
