Exciting news for Burleson County! Nexstream has been awarded $36 million through the Texas BDO BOOT II grant to expand broadband access across the region. This investment will bring over 500 miles of fiber infrastructure to connect over 5,000 homes, businesses, and community spaces, reinforcing Nexstream’s mission to close the digital divide and provide reliable, high-speed Internet to underserved Texans.
Why This Matters
Reliable broadband access isn’t just a convenience—it’s a lifeline for rural communities. It drives economic development and ensures residents can access essential services, such as:
💚 Education – Supporting students with online learning and digital resources.
💚 Healthcare – Enabling telehealth services and remote medical consultations.
💚 Business Growth – Empowering local businesses to thrive and innovate.
💚 Workforce Development – Opening doors to remote work and career training opportunities.
“We understand the challenges rural communities face when it comes to connectivity,” said Hilory Parker, Nexstream COO. “This grant allows us to build future-ready broadband infrastructure that will serve Burleson County residents for generations to come.”
Filling the Gaps in the Texas Triangle
While Burleson County sits at the center of the bustling Texas Triangle, its rural communities have often been overlooked by large Internet providers. As neighboring areas grow rapidly, Burleson has faced connectivity challenges that limit economic opportunities. Nexstream is stepping in to change that.
With this grant, we are bringing the same fiber-fast reliability enjoyed in urban centers to the families, ranchers, and small businesses that form the backbone of Burleson County.
Investing in Local Communities
This broadband expansion is about more than installing fiber; it’s about strengthening communities:
- The construction process will create jobs and stimulate the local economy.
- Enhanced broadband infrastructure will support long-term growth and digital inclusion.
What’s Next?
Construction is set to begin in 2025, paving the way for faster, more reliable Internet access throughout Burleson County. Stay tuned for updates as Nexstream continues to expand broadband access across rural Texas.
