Tri-CoGo Completes Phase 1 of Fiber Internet Project

On a mission to bring 100% fiber internet to every home and business in the Tri-County EMC service area, Tri-CoGo has officially entered the second phase of the two-part fiber build-out. Phase 1, which began in May 2021, served most Tri-County EMC members living in Jones, Twiggs, Wilkinson, Bibb Counties and portions of Baldwin County. Phase 2 will bring internet connectivity to members living in Putnam, Jasper, and Morgan Counties and the remainder of Baldwin County. 

“We are proud of the completion of phase one and the success in bringing high speed internet. There are areas in our service territory where over 50 percent of customers have switched to Tri-CoGo service.” said Greg Mullis, COO of Tri-CoGo. “But we know that there is still work to be done. We are building fiber and installing services as fast as possible to help with this need.”

Since the start of Phase 2, over 350 miles of fiber have been constructed through Putnam and Baldwin Counties. Crews are averaging 19 miles of fiber a week, on track to finish the build-out in early 2024.

When asked about the completion of Phase 1, CEO Ray Grinberg commented, “You asked us to help. We said we were going to do it, and we did it. Phase 1 is complete, and Phase 2 is well underway.”

On November 10th Tri-CoGo began serving customers in Zone 15, which includes residents living in portions of southern Putnam County. Tri-County EMC members who are interested in fiber internet service can find an availability map and schedule on Tri-CoGo’s website, tri-cogo.com.
