20240801-USDA-RD-CO-JJP-Dove Creek Emery Telecom-0006

            The newly-constructed Dove Creek Elementary uses high-speed Internet from Emery Telecom to provide top-line connection for its students.

Dove Creek is a town in Southwest Colorado with a population just under 650. Despite being small, the community is the county seat and contains the county courthouse, fairgrounds, school district offices, senior services, and more essential amenities to keep things running smoothly for those who live in and around there. Until recently, however, the only available internet services to the area missed the mark.

Dependability, speed, bandwidth, and cost are all important factors for any internet customer. Due to its rurality and the high cost to bring fiber internet out to Dove Creek, most providers weren’t willing to try to bring this more modern, more dependable technology to remote places. However, in 2020, Emery Telcom, based in rural Orangeville, Utah, received a $3.6 million grant through USDA Rural Development’s ReConnect Program, to build out fiber internet connections to every home and business in Dove Creek. 

The grant project area also included residences in north, south, and east Monticello, Utah.  Many of these homes are very spread out in rural farming communities and haven’t had access to reliable broadband internet until now.  Additionally, the grant assisted with the middle mile fiber build between Monticello, Utah and Dove Creek, Colorado.
