Why did CFEC move forward with this proposal if the fiber network was successful?

The success of the fiber network is actually one of the reasons CFEC leadership believed this transition opportunity was possible.

Fiber by Central Florida successfully solved a major need across rural communities and built a strong, valuable network serving thousands of customers.

At the same time, the cooperative also had to evaluate long-term financial responsibilities, storm-related risks, rising costs, and the challenges associated with operating both electric and broadband infrastructure moving forward.
