Nuvera Expands Fiber Network in Southern Minnesota with Plans to Build and Roll Out Fiber Service in Olivia

Nuvera’s $200 million infrastructure project meets demand for fiber fast connection

NEW ULM, April 2, 2024– Nuvera Communications, Inc. (OTC: NUVR), a diversified communications company, is announcing plans to expand its fiber network into Olivia. The expansion plans are part of the third year of construction and deployment for the $200 million Nuvera Gig Cities project. 

New Ulm-based Nuvera will begin construction on the multi-year project in Olivia within the next several weeks and gradually roll out service beginning later this year. 

“At Nuvera, we take pride in being the Minnesota company investing, building, and bringing connections to life for more families and communities every day,” said Glenn Zerbe, Chief Executive Officer of Nuvera Communications. “Just like roads and bridges, technology infrastructure investments transform a community. Nuvera’s work in Olivia will contribute to creating a vibrant quality of life in a great Minnesota community.”

The state of Minnesota’s current broadband speed goal is 100 megabits for all communities by 2026. Nuvera’s build-out provides fiber-to-the-home connections that exceed the 2026 goal by ten times, connecting homes to speeds up to 1 Gig with symmetrical speeds. In 2024, Nuvera is managing an estimated 30+ fiber projects in 21 communities across southern Minnesota.
