Cottage Grove Will Be First St. Paul Area Community to Enjoy Gateway Fiber’s High-Speed Internet Service

High-speed internet provider Gateway Fiber is excited to announce its network expansion into Cottage Grove, Minnesota, providing residents and businesses a great new way to connect online. This milestone follows the City of Cottage Grove’s Request for Proposal (RFP) process, in which Gateway Fiber was selected to design, construct, and deploy a state-of-the-art fiber optic infrastructure throughout the community.

“High speed, reliable internet is a necessity in 2025, and high speed, symmetrical fiber internet is something lacking currently in Cottage Grove,” said Cottage Grove Mayor Myron Bailey. “Residents deserve not just an additional option for internet, but one that provides a level of service that is above and beyond what is currently offered. As people across the country are working remote or hybrid, paying bills online, streaming TV and movies, to say nothing of the role that quality internet service plays in commercial businesses, this is a vital service that residents rely on daily. It supports economic development, housing development, and our current residents in massively meaningful ways.”

Gateway Fiber’s selection was based on its comprehensive response to the city’s RFP, demonstrating a proven track record of successful fiber deployments, commitment to transparent pricing, and dedication to exceptional customer service, with customer service scores that far exceeded traditional internet providers.

Mayor Bailey explained, “The City of Cottage Grove is excited to work with Gateway Fiber to bring high-speed broadband internet service to thousands of residents over the next three years. Gateway will also be providing free public Wi-Fi service in some of our city parks. They have a very successful track record in other Twin Cities communities, and we can’t wait for residents to have another choice in internet service.”

Gateway Fiber CEO Chris Surdo echoed the mayor’s sentiment. “We are excited to partner with Cottage Grove to bring our 100% fiber-optic network to the community. Our mission is to deliver faster, more reliable internet with straightforward pricing and industry-leading customer support. Cottage Grove residents and businesses will soon experience the transformative benefits of true fiber connectivity-enabling better work-from-home capabilities, seamless online learning, and enhanced streaming and gaming.”

Construction on the new network is now underway, with Gateway Fiber crews working closely with city officials to ensure a smooth rollout. Residents and businesses can expect timely updates on construction progress and will be notified when service becomes available in their neighborhoods.

Gateway Fiber’s expansion into Cottage Grove is part of the company’s broader commitment to bridging the digital divide in the Twin Cities metro area and beyond, following recent launches in communities such as Shoreview, Plymouth, and Coon Rapids. The company’s 100% fiber network offers symmetrical multi-gig speeds, improved reliability, and the capacity to support the growing digital needs of both households and businesses.
