Columbia County Community Broadband Utility (C3BU) is proud to share that our family has grown. We welcomed Emmett Masterson on February 11th, weighing 8 pounds and measuring 21 inches long. Moments like this remind us that as our team and their families grow, so do we as an organization and as a community. Since 2019, C3BU has expanded from 175 miles of fiber optic infrastructure to more than 403 miles today, and we’ve grown from seven to eight communication towers, strengthening the backbone that supports our county. We now directly serve all County schools, County government buildings, traffic signals, water and sewer systems, and critical public safety operations including 911, law enforcement, fire services, and emergency management. Beyond our public sector mission, C3BU partners with seven service providers to support commercial and residential connectivity across our region. Our growth reflects the dedication of our team, the trust of our community, and the shared belief that strong broadband infrastructure strengthens every family, every classroom, and every business we serve; C3BU is shaping our community to create tomorrow’s opportunities today!
