Mille Lacs Energy Cooperative (MLEC) is excited to announce a significant fiber Internet expansion project planned for 2027 that will bring fast, reliable broadband service to members and businesses located along the east side of Mille Lacs Lake.
The project is expected to pass approximately 1,500 homes and businesses, including numerous resorts, campgrounds, and RV parks throughout the area. Once completed, residents, seasonal property owners, and local businesses will have access to high-speed Internet service from a trusted local provider committed to serving our communities.
As demand for reliable connectivity continues to grow, MLEC Fiber is investing in the infrastructure needed to support work, education, entertainment, and business operations both today and in the future.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027, but MLEC is encouraging interested residents and businesses to sign up now to help with project planning and to guarantee fiber service is extended to their location. Members and businesses interested in receiving MLEC Fiber can sign up online at mlecmn.net/fiber or call (218) 429-0433
