GRM Networks has been awarded a $15.7 million grant from the United States Department of Agriculture’s ReConnect Program. The grant will be used to complete fiber to the premise construction to the Missouri exchanges of Barnard, Brimson, Darlington, Jamesport, Mt. Moriah, and Washington Center.

CEO Mitchell Bailey says that upon completion of the fiber build by 2025, GRM Networks will be 100 percent fiber. The project will provide customers with broadband internet speeds up to 1 gigbit per second.
