Ripple Fiber to invest $200 million for fiber optics construction, expansion in Michigan
Ripple Fiber, a fiber optic internet provider based in the Southeast, will begin construction in Midland, Michigan on April 7, 2025, with work in neighboring Saginaw starting shortly after. This expansion adds 28,000 more homes to the approximately 60,000 already under construction in Wayne County. Ripple Fiber first announced its plans to enter the Michigan market in September 2024, beginning in Allen Park, Plymouth, Livonia, Canton, Garden City, and Westland. Now, Ripple Fiber will reach $200 million in investment capital to continue expanding digital access across the region.
“With the first areas in our Michigan network now going live, Ripple Fiber is thrilled to announce the rapid expansion of our footprint beyond our initial Wayne County build,” said Greg Wilson, Founder and CEO of Ripple Fiber. “As we begin construction in Midland and Saginaw, we are grateful for the partnerships we’ve built with local municipal leaders and industry partners that enable us to bring our world-class fiber internet to even more residents across the state.”
“The advancement of technology in Midland is extremely important as we aim to ensure our residents have digital access that aligns with the evolution of the telecommunications industry,” added Brad Kaye, City Manager of Midland, Michigan. “Ripple Fiber has a clear view of their vision for enhancing the current infrastructure in our city and providing choice to our residents. We’re eager to see their designs come to fruition and witness the positive impact it will bring to our community.”
