Vermillion Rise Deemed Fiber-Ready

Vermillion Rise Deemed Fiber-Ready The company has built a facility in the Vermillion Rise Mega Park.

A more than 7,000-acre business park in Vermillion County is the latest to receive recognition for its high-speed Internet infrastructure. AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) has certified the Vermillion Rise Mega Park as AT&T Fiber Ready.

Dylan Riggin, executive director of the Vermillion County Economic Development Corp., says the certification will help send an important message to entrepreneurs and longtime business owners. "It’s a valuable new tool that gives the community a competitive advantage when talking with potential companies about their needs." 

The industrial park is the former home of a U.S. Army facility that served as a chemical weapons depot. Work began in earnest in 2016 to redevelop the property with the construction of a $3.3 million shell building. 

"AT&T’s investment is another important partnership and fills in a very important piece of our development framework," said Vermillion Rise Mega Park Executive Director Bob Grewe. "Effective partnerships like this have been the essential ingredient to our redevelopment efforts."

A year ago, Grewe appeared on Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick to talk about the park’s potential. You can see that interview by clicking here.

The shock factor lies in the magnitude of this issue – the magnitude of despair, isolation, and uncertainty that thousands of our city's youth grapple with daily....
