Case Study of Cedar Falls, IA:

Read the case study of Cedar Falls, Iowa where a municipal utility took on high-speed fiber connections and telecommunications to service the community.

”According to city budget officials, beginning in fiscal year 2008, Cedar Falls will have its debt paid off (industrial and technology park infrastructure) and begin reaping a surplus. That could mean an additional $2 million in taxes available to the city that year; plus another $2 million split between the county and schools. The city's share looks to increase after that to $10 million in 2010. Communities across the state (including its next-door neighbor, Waterloo) are trying their hardest to emulate Cedar Falls' success.” – Doris J.
