SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES

United Fiber continues expansion in rural Nodaway County

MARYVILLE, Mo. — United Fiber, a subsidiary of United Electric Cooperative, has provided broadband services and local customer service to some of the most rural areas and local communities in northwest Missouri since 2013.

With their recent anniversary milestone of 10 years, United Fiber now has over 30,000 customers and continues to focus on the customers and the communities themselves.

United Fiber prides itself on having local customer support and involvement in its communities, which includes attending and sponsoring numerous events around the area.

“For over a decade, United Fiber has focused on providing northwest Missouri with local, long-term fiber investments,” said Darren Farnan, Chief Operating Officer of United Fiber. “These investments are critical to keep our region connected and competitive in an information-based world.”

Recently, United Fiber hosted Hometown Heroes at Mosaic Medical Center in Maryville. United Fiber provided doughnuts and coffee to all Mosaic employees at the event.

The United team served approximately 150 health care providers and staff as a small thank you for everything they do for the community.

“It was a pleasure to serve Mosaic’s healthcare providers and staff. We look forward to expanding our Hometown Heroes program into other areas we service and different fields such as firefighters, police departments, etc. We have just scratched the surface,” stated Niki Dalton, Chief Marketing Officer.

In addition to hosting events for local businesses, United Fiber actively supports northwest Missouri communities at events, festivals, and fairs by having local employees on site to interact with new and existing customers. This team works diligently at these events to meet customers where they

Experience live and find better ways to serve their communities.

“Our employees live in the communities we serve and provide a local presence that our members and customers expect and deserve. We will continue to provide that local service for many years to come,” said Jim Bagley, United CEO.

With locations in Maryville, Savannah, Cameron, Smithville, Excelsior Springs and St. Joseph, customers have easy access to the United team.

With the rapid expansion of United Fiber’s services to new locations, including the Maitland, Skidmore and Oregon areas, they will continue to provide a local, reliable service to all members and customers.
