"I’m excited to explore the immense opportunities that are available for WeConnect and the City," said Holt via the City of Westerville, to invigorate the local small business scene with fiber solutions while catering to the data needs of larger enterprises in the region.

It caters to a growing demand within Westerville and beyond, offering affordable fiber internet that helps new and established businesses flourish and retain a competitive edge on a global scale. "It's an incredible opportunity for all businesses, and it's also a great opportunity for the City," Holt mentioned by the City of Westerville, highlighting the fiscal advantage WeConnect may wield for the public good.

Local establishments are already feeling the impact of the service.
